Flashing Popup

Hi All,
Almost all the web sites I go to a window pops up flashing saying "You are
the 10000
visitor" or "This is no joke. You are a winner. Click here."
Is everyone getting these annoying popups or is it something on my computer
causing this?
Any help is appreciated.

It sounds like you've picked up some malware. Start with the easy stuff like
scanning with Malwarebytes' Anti-malware (www.malwarebytes.org) or
SuperAntiSpyware (www.superantispyware.com). Both these programs have free
versions; you don't need to purchase them to remove malware.

You might want to do the preparatory work I suggest before scanning. See

Thank you Mr.. Bear,
For some reason I never seen my original post so I thought it never got
sent.
Also thanks to all that answered. I will try some of the suggestions.
