    Never seen a single ad on the forums, maybe it's something you downloaded on your pc?

    If it just happens on Minetime.com, I'm not sure what it could be. But, if it occurs on other websites then you may have installed some sort of spamware onto your computer. (Like Jess said :3)

    Not too much adds, but they're annoying

    Yea, I've never seen anything like that before, plus, it's in a completely different language I don't even recognize. I have to assume you had to have just downloaded spamware by accident. Look through your computer and find any suspicious files or programs and remove them and the issue should be resolved. (Or you could get an adblocker which I use. :3)

    Definitely something you downloaded. Go into control panel, uninstall program, and figure out what it is and uninstall it.

    Im pretty sure my pc has nothing to do with this, I get ads in different langs, depends on my vpn location, so if it was in uk I get english ads, you get my point, but yep, adblocker is a good idea, thank shu <3

    Can you please try something? go on "post new thread" in off-topic section (not sure if it matters) and wait for like 10 seconds and see if you get and ad?

    If you have anti-virus software run a scan and it should delete the spamware.

    It's adware.

    Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a program
    Look for any programs that contain the words 'toolbar' 'ads' or just stuff that looks sketchy to begin with. Even things like 'super pc booster 1000000' could be the cause of it.

    There are no ads on Minetime. It's either your VPN (I know Hotspot Shield does it) or adware doing it.
