It's not your web browser, it's your ISP. It sounds like your ISP is hijacking NXDOMAIN to serve ads. If you have Tomato or DD-WRT you can fix this.

If that doesn't fix it, you probably have malware.
- joezydeco 12y agoI'm leaning towards malware. Tons of applications install those oh-so-helpful "toolbars" that clamp into your browser and start hijacking pages and popping ads under and over your window. Even the Java setup program tries to install these things now.
