Just logged onto Trade Me and found random?? words underlined and highlighted in blue. These are links of some sort. When I hover the mouse over them an ad box pops up.
The same thing is also happening on this site.
Hovering also brings a box saying "By Coupon Drop down" over the advertisement.

1339511 2013-05-03 08:53:00 Maybe you got infected with some Adware? Try running scan with Spybot and such Agent_24 (57)
1339512 2013-05-03 10:35:00 Someone may have installed a program that installed it. See if its in add/remove programs. Or programs and features. Depending on the OS Speedy Gonzales (78)
1339513 2013-05-03 10:55:00 Yep, you need to do some serious work on this. This is a known adware POS so google coupondropdown and check methods of removal. linw (53)
1339514 2013-05-03 12:09:00 Check your addons for anything not familiar to you - "savesales 3" is one ext name it uses, but there are probably others - remove/delete if there.

These are called "text enhance" (had it once myself quite a while ago)

and use cc or something to clean out your internet cache files etc at the same time

1339515 2013-05-04 02:44:00 Did someone install Utorrent recently?? Unless you decline to one of its installs, it installs Download coupon, dropcoupon or something. It sounds like the program you're talking about Speedy Gonzales (78)
