Internet Speed Monitor advertising

I keep getting these advertising sites coming up from Internet Speed Monitor
and they won't go away. I've checked my adware, spyware etc. but, this does
seem to be having an effect on my computer and my antivirus doesn't show
anything. But, one night I couldn't open any of my email addresses. I've
especially had trouble opening my yahoo emails.
Does anyone know what is happening and how I can stop this?

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for
malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you
owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
