Any idea why this advertisement shows up on my computer while checking out a recent post? Do I have some type of bug on my computer? I notice this type of ad popping up a lot when checking Craigslist stuff.

No idea, but I am no computer guru.
I know what will prevent it, though:

I have Mircosoft Essentials... Funny, the ad only showed up in the single post one time.
