Hello forum,
since afternoon I have encountered a lot of ads injecting on my web browser,I have been tracking task manager but still I won't find any application with suspicious usage of any resources,but here is the thought which pings me.

I am using internet through my friends laptop,by using AdHoc method and is there a possible way of malware injecting ads just because the traffic is going through my friends system and he has all sorts of malware installed in his system.

^^which Antivirus are you using ?

are the virus definitions up to date ?

Scan your pc with Malwarebytes Anti Malware and then run this ToolsLib - Downloads - AdwCleane

Go through the adware removal guide in my sig.

There are two ways it can happen. DNS hijacking at router level or local plugins installed to browser ( normally ). AdwCleaner mention earlier is a popularly suggest remedy for adware.

At first, you should use a good adblocking extension in your browser like AdBlock or Adblock Plus. Then run a full scan on your PC. Use a powerful antivirus. There are some effective antivirus which are free like SafeBytes.
