checkout this for malware:

Check your loaded programs and see what is loaded that should not be there.

 

Are you using any extensions or add-ons?  Extra tool bars?  that is where the malware comes

from, but dumping it can be a hassle.

Those ads are not coming from Pogo. If you're getting advertisements as a Club Pogo member then it's possible that you have Adware or Malware on your computer.

 

Here's a  link to a detailed article in Pogo News which you should read, it has troubleshooting steps to resolve this:

For future reference, it's standard practice for companies to include any variety of other unneeded "free" programs such as toolbars and "deal" programs along with what you expected in the (recommended) full download installs, for example,Java, Flash, and even anti-virus programs carry such add-ons. In order to avoid downloading these additional add-ons, always choose the custom install and uncheck the additional content.
