And that's not all it took. I went into the find directory and found all files modified today, and deleted suspicious files created at the time when the ads were tossed into my faves file. One file of note was a dll called plg_ie0.dll and two program files. One of the program files was called lop.exe which I assume sends you to lop.com (which is where I kept getting redirected to). If you see either of these files on your computer kill them.
