I cannot borrow anyone else's computer. But I will see what happens with another browser.

I have no toolbars installed. At the moment. I have a drop down menu of some sorts on the right hand side and of course that stupid ad at the bottom that I can't get rid of.

Thanks for trying to help me with this. I really need to sort this out.

Edit: I am typing this from Internet Explorer. My usual browser is Firefox. So far I am not seeing evidence of the ads. So that means something has happened to my Firefox and PC. How do I fix it?
