I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite and seem to have also acquired some sort of AD program. Whenever I am online the get tons of ADs that bring me to new internet tabs and actual sprout up from random text on the page I am reading. Any idea on what this is or how I get it to stop?

MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
