i have a problem where lets say i got to ebay.com or google.com. in their ads, i see some kind of spyware i never got till last night. when i hover over the link its some porn link. the main link is the same, only the beginning of the link varys. a pick of what is looks like is here:

I guess the adult links are what you are describing. Try downloading these, a normal procedure for finding the problem. Go to the trendmicro site, Housecall , and run their free online scan. It takes a while but is worth it.
Then download these three programs, update them, and run them from Safe Mode :
cwshredder (the stand alone version)
Adaware SE
SpybotIf you have an antivirus that will run from safe mode run it also.
Set the computer up to show hidden files. Go to control panel>folder options>view>check the circle beside" show hidden files and folders">apply>ok.
Clean up some temp files.
Go to C:\WINDOWS\Temp and delete the contents of that folder(not the folder itself )
Go to C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch and delete the contents of the folder.For each user of the computer go to C:\Documents and Settings\<each user>\Local Settings and delete the contenets of these three folders if they exist:
Temp
Temporary Internet Files
History
And for each user go to C:\Documents and Settings\<each user>\Cookies and delete the contents of that folder.
Index files will not delete.Empty the recycle bin and purge system restore.To purge the restore folder and make a new restore point first go to start>control panel>system>system restore tab>check the box beside "turn off system restore">apply>ok. Restart the computer and go back and uncheck the box>apply>ok.
To make a new restore point go to start>run>type in msconfig>ok>launch syatem restore>create a restore point>next>name it anything you want to>create>close.
If you don't get it resolved download Hijack This at this link http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ then place it into a folder of it's on, such as C:\HJT, so that back up copies can be made and not clutter your desktop or other folders and the backup copies of deleted items can be easily located if needed.
Once saved double click HijackThis.exe, and press "Scan". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its contents into the text editor.Once you copy it into the text editor scroll down below Options and check the "check this box to preserve you spacing". Do not fix anthing yet. Let someone review your log.
