    Crawler, you've got an adclick malware program that has infected your computer.
    Go to Malwarebytes - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com , click on the green button labeled "Download Now Secure Download" and run the program. It will remove the offending malware.

    Nodakjohns, yours is a spyware issue. Malwarebytes above will also take care of it.

    I have never had a "re-direct" to an advertisement since I've been here. I do see advertisement in the banner for sites that I shop at. I just ignore them.

    Another thing is that I run Linux, not windows, so that may be less prone to malware and such.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Ah.
    View the certificate, check the box that says "don't ask again" and then accept the certificate.
