    I've never seen it before. I use a Hosts file which blocks 99% of ads.

      I'm getting ads red diesel on virtually every website I use that have ads. Maybe it was because I've recently visited the Countryside Alliance and CLA websites?

      Something is tracking what you are viewing and then shows you what it thinks is the most interesting to you, hoping you click on it and then they make a v small profit from it.

      If you're on Google Chrome download AdBlock...it's A-maze-ing.

      As Google searches have taken me to those type of sites I suspect that's the cause of it.
