Talking trick or virus?

does my computer have a virus? When i go to click on the next page on the bottom of the page; sometimes a "ghost" link in white letters to a sponsor is behind the page numbers, so when i click it i get directed to a sponsor.
when i click on top to view the nex page its fine,
this does not bother me I just wanna know if this happens to anyone else or my computer has some kind of virus?

It could be a browser issue where it's rendering something not correctly. Could you post a screen capture showing the link/banner behind the page numbers?

If you use Firefox browser you can install Ad Block Plus and it will stop ads from displaying on all web pages.

But if there is an ad displayed under the page navigation, there is a fairly good chance there is something wrong with his browser that an ad block may not address.

I use AVG anti-virus, it's a good program and it's free. I also use Malwarebyte's anti-malware to remove spyware and trojans which is also free to use.

Firefox is 10x better than Internet Explorer. Plus there's a lot of useful add-ons like Adblock and many others.
