Ads With Practically Every Click

I don't know about you all, but something has happened to my computer and it happens especially on the writing sites like this site. What happens is , 99 percent of the time (with few exceptions), I will click the button "start discussion" to submit the article or I will hit all the different columns on the left side of the page like the notifications or suggestions etc, and when I do this, an ad page will pop up and start trying to appear. I quickly click it off. Luckily, when I am posting the article, the article will post but right before it does, the ad pops up and I am clicking it off. The same thing happens when I am answering posts here too. Right when I click the button to respond, an ad page pops up.
It really is frustrating. Does this happen to you?

Nope. You may want to check your popup blocker settings.

Luckily it does not, I would advise you to do a health check on your system. There are a couple of free malware software that I can recommend that I use that should fix your problem: Spybot - Search & Destroy available here: (use the free version, works just fine); and malwarebites available here: Malwarebytes.org (use the free version).
Hope this helps you
Spybot - Search & Destroy is a free malware removal tool provided by Safer-Networking Ltd. Users can now purchase Spybot +AV, our internet security suite.

You probably have malware/adware on your computer. I would recommend running malwarebytes to look for it. If your somewhat tech savy you can look in the registry under local user and current user under the run keys and see if anything has added entries there. You can also check msconfig.
