Related: About this forumHow do I turn the ads back off?
I clicked on a very bad link someone posted in one of the threads yesterday to watch the opening ceremonies. I don't know for sure if it's related, but the ads are back all over the threads and I can't find where in preferences to turn them back off. Thanks for any help.

(1,510 posts)I just noticed the same ads are following me to other forums that don't normally have any ads. Malwarebytes got rid of some stuff but there's something left. I cant understand why another du'er would post a link to a malicious site, and claim they've been using it for years to watch sports.
