UPDATE: Well, I guess I should've done this first, but pretty much immediately after I made the post I did a google search and found the solution. It was ad-ware on my computer, specifically as part of my internet browser. If you experience the same problem, here's the solution I used:
remove the StartNow toolbar via:
Tools > Add-Ons > Extensions in your browser
I don't know if everyone is seeing this (indicating that it's a problem on the internet) or just me (indicating my computer's got ad-ware or mal-ware on it), but I've noticed that especially on the blog page, these weird ads keep popping up when you go over a hyperlink, mostly telling you you can win an ipad. Just today, I noticed that it started creating hyperlinks on words I've not made to be hyperlinks and they'll take you to a site to buy ipads or whatever. I'm sorry if you've gotten duped/annoyed like hell by these. I don't know why they're happening, and I don't know what to do about it. If anybody knows a solution, please let me know. Again, apologies for the inconvenience.
