Google search advert issue

Go to solution Solved by MAWood,

It says right on the side, ads by: adchoices

 

Go into google chrome, go to settings, go to extensions and disable any extension you don't recognize and or is called adchoices. After that go into programs folder, and delete any folder named adchoices (or any weird extension you disabled), and or run a virus / adware scan on your computer.

Thanks man that was it, it was 'Youtube-to-MP3 GOLD 0.0.0.5' That caused this issue.

Hi, recently on my devices I have seen this massive advert on my google searches. Is this normal, and also how do I get rid of it. The browser I'm using is chrome (latest stable release). The advert doesn't always cover the search result but that is also a problem.

Doesn't look right, is there anything weird in your extensions list? A lot of software installers are trying to install some adware and other crap. Do you have ad problems on other websites as well? You can always use Adblock only for that page if you need to.
