"1x1 pixels" renders instead of webpage through various ad services

Question

A blank page titled "1 1x1 pixels" or "1x1 pixels" is the result of clicking ad based links on many websites, dealnews and other deal sites is where my frustration happens most of the time at the moment.
This is happening with Safari and Chrome after a fresh install (CMD-R) of Mavericks after erasing the hard drive & partition (as much as possible with the SSD and no security erase option)
Links to various ad services create this, links to various sites ebay/sears/many others through google ad services, linksynergy.com, ebay rover, doubleclick, other ad services..
I am on a home network without a webfilter, proxy, or antivirus software.  I have firewall off, popup blocker off, no extentions installed.  I have seen references to SafariBlock and other extensions/proxies but none of this has been installed.
I have no clue on direction here and am very networking savvy.
I may should post this under the Mavericks OSX thread, but this seemed like the proper place since in the past I have seen Safari will effect other browsers somehow.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
