I am having problems with a banner ad. It displays at the bottom of my screen. It is just like an ad displayed on a webpage so there is no close button and it does not show up in task manager. It is not always there but pops up at least every other time I'm using my computer. Even if I'm just using Word...because I have a cable modem hooked up and it is always online. That becomes particularly annoying especially when I'm using the drawing tools in word which display at the bottom of the screen. I do have a pop-up blocker on my system so if I click on the banner to open it and possibly close it, the pop-up window does not open. The banner just dissappears for half a second and returns. It does not go away until I restart my computer. There is also no company to contact on these ads. The last one just said rate your debt with a list of radio buttons to supposedly make a choice.
Has anyone ever seen these ads and know how to get rid of them?
