How do I remove "googleadservices.com"? It interrupts moving to a clicked link and reroutes me to a blank page with the address: www.googleadservices.com". Thanks.
Screen shot of where I get routed to:
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), mid-2012, 13', nonretina display
Select the text below (not including the blank space at the end of the line), then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
www.googleadservices.com
Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same.
wow - thanks for trying to help me. here's the text that came up:

hello,
i have the same problem. whenever i want to open a particular link it leads me to a blank page and it says googleadservices.com. i've heard that this is a virus. can you help me get rid of this? i don't want to compromise my information stored in my laptop. thanks.
If you've installed "NetBarrier," remove it according to the developer's instructions, after backing up all data.
I have not installed NetBarrier, however, I subscribe to Itego VirusBarrier X6, and it has an update application called NetUpdate. Perhaps one of my settings needs to be changed, but which one(s)?
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.
How do I remove "googleadservices.com"?
