Annoying Pop-Up

This has been popping up for a month or so. How can I get rid of it? It appears when there is a price on something - attempting to show me a lower price.

The screen shot of the banner was too small to show up well in a post. It's right below the address bar. There is a red shopping cart on the left with "Best Price! and the store selling it at the best price. Okay, I made it larger.

Showing up where? When you are on a shopping site or on UHH? Did you try a different browser?

Your answer might be here on Google:
https://www.google.com/search?q=Best+Price+but+see+other+great+offers&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1

Adware?

Directly under the address bar. It appears when I'm a selling site, like Amazon, and it looks for better prices.

I'm guessing that Amazon is doing it (creating the pop-up) then.

I would bet you got one of them add ons for your browser when you downloaded something recently maybe?

Got a feeling Jerry, you have a similar adware program added to your system....like I said earlier, try another system/browser and see if the results follow.... absolutely HATE adware!
