I would like to also ask ; What is this "Ad page" that you are referring
to?

You could be a little more specific; include the URL (web address) of
this "Ad page" for instance.

What should have come up instead of this "Ad page".


With so little information, it's difficult to speculate on the cause,
but it may be that your 'Hosts' file has been modified by the same virus
that has caused, at least, some of the other problems you have been
experiencing.

To check this theory out, locate the file :

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

...and open it in a simple text editor such as [edit.com] or Notepad.
Delete everything in this file except for the following line that should
be at the very beginning ;

127.0.0.1 localhost

...then save and close. There should be only this one line in your Hosts
file, unless you have either SpyWareBlaster or SpyBotSD installed on
your system.

Certain entries in the hosts file can have the unwanted effect of
re-directing any possible web address to one other than expected - it is
just one of the ways a virus may attack your computer.
