Hey,
That usually means you have a virus or just an annoying browser plugin installed (pretty much the same if you ask me). Does it happen just in AZB or anywhere else?
It won't hurt to check your browser addons and uninstall anything weird you see there.
REDRUM?
Will's got it, you have adware installed, maybe a toolbar in your browser or something similar.
Good free adware removal software:

That should clear it up.
Some forums intentionally do what you're describing as a sneaky form of advertising,
but to my knowledge AZB isn't one of them. Plugins like adblock plus
will block most (maybe not all) of that sort of thing.

same here , started a few days ago for me
Got this a year or so ago. It was just on my firefox browser, had to remove browser, and reinstall firefox, Probably easier ways to get rid of it, but it worked for me.
We need a list, to be sure,

That is adware that you may have gotten by downloading a request for a mortgage quote or anything else. It did not originate on AZB.
