Some ISPs do insert such ads when installing their connection software. Which ISP do you use? It could also have been installed by some other software with malicious intention.

Check for any s/w on ControlPannel > Programs Add Features for any kind of Program which might be like Bar etc.

From the screen shot you provided i can see that you also have Fierfox if this same Advertisement is appearing in fierfox also then it can be installed by your ISP like sugested by Austin.

Else it has to be in Programs and Features.

Saurav, shift to Chrome or Firefox for a faster and overall better user experience. The ads you mentioned appearing in web pages can be blocked by add-ons and extension features offered by these browsers.

In Google Chrome, install AdBlock

With Firefox you would need Adblock Plus add-on.

There are other alternatives like Adsweep and Flashblock but I found the above to do a more effective job.

Could be Malware. Some malware can insert add even within Web pages like Wikipedia

What rights does your ISP has to insert his adverts in your data streams?

Aren't they breaching your communication?

Friends, please give your opinion if some legal remedy may be sought as a customer.

And if these adverts are counted in the user's data usage, this is surely a criminal act on part of the ISP.

the isp can do whatever they want

just like tv channels insert ads during the program

this is obviously not permitted in other countries

but there are no laws against it

no legal remedy can be sought against any isp

but you are always free to spend your time and money trying your luck in consumer court

we are like this only ...

:bash:
