Check to see if you have the dreaded "Win32.downloader.gen" virus embeded - very dangerous.
As well as open up adverts on your computer, it makes your computer run slow, do strange things, etc and also can spy on your computer, bank details, key loggers, etc.
Run an anti malware/trojan program firstly to detect if you got it? (its usually picked up from logging into dodgy sites - free downloads, porn,etc). - suggest "spybot search and destroy" free.
Most anti malware won't get rid as it embeds itself deep into other programs (trojan) on your main C drive.
If you have got it and your anti malware wont get rid - google "Win32.downloader.gen" into google - its becoming a massive problem.
Hope this may help.

Is it certain companies/adverts that are showing up? Does it open in a new window?
