Clicked on your link webtrekker and just as I was connected to the 'activistp' web site my 'Malwarebytes' - reported 'Malicious website blocked'.

Apart from this site I was connected to Facebook site 'WordsWithFriends' so I have to suspect the 'activistp' site.

I closed down the 'actvistp' link. I can't rove the malware came from this site.

It was just an article from the Activist Post site with the following title...

Just selected the link again and my  'Malwarebytes' - reported 'Malicious website blocked' - again so I am assuming it is malware on that site.

Did a search on Google for 'interyield.td.553' and there are a few links to malware removal procedures to remove this PUP (potentially unwanted program) or PUA

(potentially unwanted application) from your system eg :-

Hi robhkerr

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

From my checks on this you are reporting is one of a 'family' of what we in the Community refer to as a PUA or Potentially Unwanted Application.

 

These are very annoying at best in that they cause pop-us, redirect your browser home page, and other behaviour that may slow down the computer and direct ads your way, but they are not actually doing anything bad like damaging files or stealing information..............................................
