Ads, hover ads and redirects on WF?

Is anyone else being bombarded by ads, hover ads and getting redirected constantly here on the WF?

Please tell me this forum was hacked, or I have a virus and this is not what it appears to be.

    Hi Aaron,

    I'm not having such error so far. Try to check your computer sounds like you have malware

    Yes, that is what it is. Ads by keep now and savinshop.

    I did check another site first before posting (flippa.com) but the ads did not show up on that site. They do on most others though. I guess I should have checked a couple more sites first and the answer would have been obvious.

    Found out my wife used my computer while I was napping. This is why I don't like people touching my computers lol.

    I haven't had ads pop up, but I do get redirected from this forum to another IM offer. I wonder if I got malware by visiting a site in someones signature :/

      Check your browser extension for something that doesn't belong. That is where I found one of the culprits.

    I haven't had any of that happen. I'd run a virus check and spyware/malware check if I were you.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    I am sorry to say I believe you are infected or have some bunk extensions or software working behind the scenes.

    Best of luck.
