Problem w/Smitfraud-c

I mainly use Internet Explorer but I have all browsers installed on this system. I used this system and Explorer all day yesterday with no issues except one instance where a pop-up showed that it was a website that I had gone directly to earlier in the day. Nothing appeared in the pop-up window, I just could see the address of the site at the top of the pop-up. Not sure if I am explaining correctly. And then the second instance today where it popped up an advertisement.
 
Hi

I mean this one from my all clean speech:

  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
