I certainly don't see it. So, yes run a spyware/adware scan on your system to see if anything's there.

I guess other users will also respond if they see anything amiss.

download and install Ad-aware, Windows Defender, run a full scan with your anti-virus. i use AVG. go to Internet Explorer Tools, Internet Options, Programs, Manage Add-Ons and disable anything that looks unusual.

do those things, clean up your Temp folders, Temporary Internet Files, and your Registry of anything out of the ordinary.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
