Are you using windows xp.Is the advert for casinos or so called adult sites.?I use xp and had a problem like this.The advert was for the type of sites I have mentioned.I had clicked on a site which was a blind link,ie a false one.The advert stayed in my desktop and I could`nt remove it.My computer worked normally otherwise.The way I got rid of it was just to close the account down and open up another one with a different user name.Since then I have the new version of xp installed and I also installed AVG which has prevented any further mishaps.
