This has started to appear on most places I visit. I can click the x at the top right to close it but as soon as I change pages its back.

Is that from your Bing Toll Bar? I don't have it and thinking it must be a tool bar "feature."

This is caused by spyware/malware. In addition to the steps Taylor mentions above, you'll want to scan your system for more garbage. For every piece of malware you spot, there's a dozen you didn't see.

Personally I recommend you run these 3:
- ADWcleaner
- Combofix
- Malwarebytes

Ya, if you aren't already using MalewareBytes, go ahead and change that immediately.
I run a scan around once a week, just to be sure.
Even if the maleware isn't obtuse enough for you to notice doesn't mean its not effecting your gaming!
