Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.

No need to shout Fred.

Anyways this could just be a simple thing like a article at some sites where they put in ad links with some words in a article.
