How do I stop re-directs to advertising sights and constant attempts to download MacKeeper?

I use CNN as my homepage, and I'm just your average, at-home computer user. It seems whenever I click on an article to read I'm redirected to an ad in a new tab, or instructed to download a new MediaPlayer, which just seems to download Mackeeper or some other software I don't want. How do I stop all this? Thanks
