Jayd31, I don't know why special offers would have been enabled like that, but you may be able to disable the ads yourself. It's easy:

Click on "Your Account" (upper right on screen at Amazon's website)
Click on "Manage Your Kindle" (located in the Digital Management section)
Click on "Manage Your Devices"
You will see your Kindle listed there. If it says "Subscribed," then click on "edit" and you can unsubscribe there.

I'm not sure which Kindle you have. My no-ad K3 Kindle Keyboard 3G updated to 3.3 a month or two ago, and this didn't happen to me. But 1-2 weeks ago, Amazon made it so that we can opt-in to the special offer ads if we want to. Maybe that's why it activated automatically for you with the update—I don't know.

I hope that works for you.
