I am getting advertisements inside the games that I play. I assume this is something that pogo, or yahoo did, because for a couple of weeks before it happened there was a program monitoring my every move.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.
