CENSORSHIP or Security

I suspect this is some kind of malware infection and/or browser hijack.

Can you make a screen print and upload it to some image hosting service like ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr, then post the web link to the image here?

It's not Canadian censorship. There are a number of Canadians who help out in these forums and they have no difficulties.

Tell us about your security arsenal, eg firewall, anti-virus and anti-malware utilities, and I would suggest downloading, installing, updating then running a full scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-malware.

I've never used Image Shack before but here goes: Two examples. http://profile.imageshack.us/user/larent2/

I use Bell Internet Security Anti-Virus, Firewall, Anti-Spyware with real-time protection , Fraud Protection, Spybot and XoftSpySE. I just recently scanned with anti-virus and spyware but will initiate another deep scan. Thank you Mark. I will consider Malwarebytes.

I finally found the problem, after Marks remarks I checked my Anti-Virus and Spyware settings and found my lovely wife had checked off the Enable Ad Blocker box on my Bell Security. I often complain about all the ads on the Internet and she thought it would help. She helped me look foolish by not mentioning it to me. CNET has some wonderful and helpful members. I will be visiting often to be informed. Thanks again!

One thing I noticed about your post above, the use of XoftSpy. In the past this was known as a rogue anti-spyware program and Spyware Warrior listed it as an unsafe application. It has been delisted, but for my part I feel once listed, it will be a while before I trust it.

Have a look at the Spyware Warriors de-listed page at http://www.spywarewarrior.com/de-listed.htm and scroll down to find the XoftSpy entry.

The full List of Spyware Warrior's suspect applications is here; http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

I also have to mention Spybot Search & Destroy. Sadly we have found that it often no longer 'fits well' with today's anti-virus scanners, especially if the Tea Timer background scanner component of Spybot is used. This is because it and the anti-virus scanner often conflict.

Thanks for those images. An unusual color scheme!
