Videos turning hazy after brief-abrupt-frame-skips, making the picture quality miserable instantly

I followed every instruction to the letter from the page- http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_6__Remove_Flash_Player_cache

sadly my problem persists....

After a couple of seconds of watching a video on any site like say YouTube... In a couple seconds the pictures are SHARP TO THE EDGE...

But suddenly- (if u have noticed there is is a yellow marker on the downloader belt under the video screen) Whenever the video reaches that 'yellow' marker, and advert pops-up, that instant this is what happens-

the video skips a couple seconds and EVEN WORSE becomes digitally hazy...

Its been happening for sometime now but today I decided to find a solution... Sadly to my dismay... PLEASE HELP ME......

In this rather appropriate screenshot, can you please point out the yellow marker, because I've never seen it?

I'm pretty sure the ad that pops up is related to some "browser hack" that's been installed on your system.

There is the yellow marker I was talking bout... In this screenshot.... Apparently it wasnt there in your screenshot...

Another latest development- now its happening in every video, or maybe I just noticed it (irrespective of whether it has the yellow marker for pop adverts) just a couple of seconds of the video starts...

Either ways what should I do...???

You've got something installed that's causing this. It's "adware" most likely. You didn't mention what browser you're using, but if It's IE, you need to check your programs list in your Control Panel for anything with a name that may appear in the ads. If it's Firefox, check Tools>Add-ons and look for ANYTHING you didn't specifically install under "Extensions" and under "Plug Ins".
