Hi,
If your using Google Chome try adding the Adblock for chrome. The same way if your using IE, try to add the Adblock for IE.

Most likely, you inadvertently installed the eDeals junkware when you downloaded and installed some other piece of free software. This can be bundled under several different names, examples include: Smartones, Discountlocator, Rcoupon, SpeedSave, EDeals, etc. In general, be very careful when installing anything, since, CNet, ZDNet, MajorGeeks and many other sites now include this junk as part of their installs. It is a disgusting practice that is starting to become very common, so don't just blast through with next, next, next, finish when installing anything; always review each screen, because the Ask Toolbar and marketing junk seems to be embedded into most installers these days.
There are several different ways to remove this, but generally, I suggest running ComboFix, since ComboFix corrects other issues of malware and viruses. Combofix can be downloaded from http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/dl/12/
Note: Some anti-virus (such as McAfee will detect ComboFix as a virus....this is a false positive).
Hope this helped...

This appears to be an external program that had been accidentally downloaded and/or installed. Rest assured that this has nothing to do with the Spacetime Forums in any capacity. I recommend using an antivirus program or an ad blocker.
For now, I am going to go ahead and lock this thread. :) Best of luck!
