So, while I was on the "You cringe you lose" thread, out of nowhere I get a wonderful full-screen image of "And now, a message from out sponsors." Has anyone else got this? And no, I have no adware.

I ran a malware scan last night, there's no way. And I've downloaded nothing.

Try running AdwCleaner since you clearly have some adware.

Did you add any new chrome extensions (assuming you have chrome) or download programs from sites like cnet?

Just to be clear, Malwarebytes IS NOT antivirus software.
They even state that.

Try using Roguekiller if ADWCleaner doesn't work.
For AV Software I recommend Bitdefender Free Ver.

there's no way it's not adware, unless it's some other kind of virus that also throws ads at you.

Most adware you can remove yourself if you can locate what its called
