What have you clicked on that you shouldn't have?

Anything you downloaded recently?

Try running a scan on malwarebytes

Sounds more like his browser is reasonably intelligent tbh.

haha Agreed. OP before you panic, close your browsers and run CCleaner to wipe all your caches etc. Then try again. On first glance it looks like the pages simply aren't rendering style sheets properly and that's not usually a symptom of browser malware or similar. It could also be that MSE is interfering in the loading of the pages, but as I don't use or recommend it I couldn't say for sure.

If a simple history clean doesn't sort it then check your PC with Tiranium Cloud and see if anything shows up.

Checked three computers which are attached or use wireless connections, looks like its the ISP at fault, not a virus infection which is a relief.

I have checked bbc, amazon & ebay websites at 10.15am today, all are fine now.

I did not used any Antivirus/Malware software to clean my PC.

I have used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Trial) to remove all of the PUP.Optional.DealPly.A type files. This was not causing the problem, everything is fine now.
