Posted August 15, 2015 Steam doesn't have ads. Try scan your PC for viruses, also check your "Program & Features", maybe you have programs that you don't even know, because sometimes "that program" might give you ads.

Posted August 15, 2015 Look through your installed programs for stupid program names like funn2savee or whatever. Donate your unused computer resources for cancer and other research.

Posted August 17, 2015 Look through your installed programs for stupid program names like funn2savee or whatever. Note that the programs will likely re-install themselves unless properly cleaned out. I usually do it myself and also use Malwarebytes. I'm here to learn and help others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
