Re: You got mail?
Unfortunately that message has been has been up there a long time now. It's at the top of my newer laptop computer screen right now running windows 8 through IE at the moment.
They are Google ads! When I clicked on the more ads choices arrow it read this,
Ever notice "Ads by Google," "Sponsored Links," or the AdChoices icon AdChoices icon as you browse the web? Ads like these show all across the Internet. Advertisers can use AdWords to show Google Ads on sites that are part of the Google Display Network. You may come across such ads when you’re viewing a website, video, or app on Google’s Display Network or other partner sites. In addition to seeing ads based on the types of sites you visit, you may also see ads based on your interests and more.
Edit: Forgot to mention earlier that this has been reported a few times already, some by private messages as well as here in the forum website issues.
