Spyware, not virus.
It is likely that you are being pinged by spyware which simply reads what advertising web sites you go to and then inserts similar product advertising here. I often see my information line (lower left of screen) indicating that doubleclick (a spyware program) is loading.
Spyware is not a virus, but many people resent it and try to guard against it.
Here is a test: go to a site like Home Depot and search for something like a hand drill. Then watch to see if you get pop ups for hand drills as advertising on this site. If it happens it probably denotes spyware is looking at you.
