If you can download them (maybe on another computer), it would be worth running adwCleaner, which should fix your browser settings:

And maybe MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware too:

......W10, IE11 - other browsers also affected by whatever I've done...
If the problem is not browser specific i.e. it affects all browsers, then as suggested by debitcardmayhem, the odds are on it being a hosts file problem.
See here for tutorial on how to re-set the hosts file.0 -
Try an incognito session - that has adblockers (and extensions which may track you) etc disabled.
If no joy still, you can just delete or comment the lines in your hosts0 -
Was it Google interest based ads by any chance?
If so reset settings again.
