[quote="electricocomics"]Am I just an isolated case or did anybody else get a sudden boom of Ads on the forums? or have thay always been there because when I first joined I browsed here add free, then a disproportionate amount of ads started popping up. Just want to know if it's just me or if anyone else has lots of advertising...
Oh and I get a lot of redirection adds specifically from this site that change the whole page (not just a new tab but I get those too) to try to give me a virus disguised as a media player and stuff like that. Does that happen to any of you too?[/quote]
Sounds like you got Adware installed on your machine which can also act as a browser extension. You will get pop-up ads anywhere you go on the web even if it's a legitimate site like here on MLK and they can even pop-up when you're not even using the Internet or browsing the web, as long as your Internet connection is alive on your computer.
Follow what juhouh was saying
(though, make sure your anti-virus software can also remove Spyware and Adware too), and hopefully it'll take care of your local problem altogether.
