Annoying ad at top of my screen?
I have recently been getting intrusive ads at the top of my screen from supposedly reputable companies like the BBC and Capiltal One. They appear even on sites that clearly get not reward from the ads (e.g my own web site displays them!). There is no option to delete the "facility" and this occurs in Chrome, Firefox and IE. I have up-to-date AV software loaded, although following the links I suspect Microsoft is involved (I am using Windows 7). How do I get rid of these ads?

It would most likely be some form of spyware. I would suggest downloading this free software and running a full scan:
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:
