There are no ads here. Your computer has some malware.

Malwarebytes has a free ant-malware program that works well.  I'd download it and run it ASAP.

I have also used Malwarebytes to detect and correct problems on my computer and those of friends. There is a free version as well as a premium version with more features that can be purchased. It works well and is trustworthy. www.malwarebytes.org
