Possible spyware

Hi Everyone
I keep getting odd instances when browsing, i can be reading a page i have gone to and my browser will suddenly kick in and take me to an advertisement page for Love Film or E Bay quite reputable advertisers not customers of spyware (or maybe they are) but i didnt touch anything to be directed there Love Film is not even a site i have ever been on which is very annoying.I have run Spybot with current updates Nothing Found ? Run full version of Malwarebytes Nothing Found ? Run AVG 9 Nothing found ? The only thing i did recently was upgraded Firefox could that be the problem has anyone else come across this problem or can anyone recommend a good Anti Spyware although i thought the three i had were the better ones. The strange thing is this seems to happen when i first run Firefox and then very occasionaly. Any advise gratefully received. Many Thanks Mike

You could try running this http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html but I would also suggest installing this addon for Firefox as it may stop it http://adblockplus.org/en/installation
