Afterdawn "sponsored links"

This is driving me batty. If I am NOT logged into Afterdawn, I get these sponsored links. I've only had this happen once before, however Adaware, Spybot S&D., fixed it. Not this time. Are these third party cookies, adware, spyware, malware? and how do I prevent them from loading? You have to give me step by step instructions. Thank you. It appears to be only on AD and CDFreaks.

Here's what is happening (go to advertisers/learn about Intellitxt)The link doesn't work if popup blocker is on, so have to copy and paste.

Running XP SP2, Eset Nod32, Adaware SE, Spybot S&D, MS Antispy. These have not resolved my problem. Registry cleaners I leave to my son and the local computer shops.

 

Can anyone help? Please and thank you. I have this "about.com" thing appearing then disappearing.
