One of those pc repair ads. Are these supposed to be on here? If they are, adblock whitelisting is going off.

Neither have I, it just happened for the first time a minute ago. I'm running a few virus scans to make sure it isn't me, but I really doubt that it is.

If you screen capped it I could look into it, but I can tell you that popups are not part of the ad banner.

It's more likely you have an adware infection, sorry to say. The ads here are run through google, which is pretty reputable.

The links are:

I dunno man, I'm running malwarebytes and norton right now and coming up with nothing.

Those sites couldn't be coming from here.
I dunno man. Maybe it was from another website I had open, but I doubt that too because the only ones I had open at the time were Google music and 4chan.

Well once again this site's ads are managed by Google AdSense which is the most reputable ad provider you can get.
I'm not saying otherwise, but this is baffling because, as far as I can tell, my system isn't infected.

Check your browser addons and your installed programs. The ones you don't immediately recognize you should search for on Google to see what they are. These adware infections aren't always picked up by scanners.

That was the first thing I did. There's nothing abnormal, nor are there any out of place processes running.

It just happened again right when I clicked on a forum post. It only seems to happen on this website as I did a lot of browsing earlier today without this site being open.

I already thoroughly checked my computer for malware and there isn't any. Funnily enough, after reactivating adblock, I'm not getting these popups anymore.

Since it's only affecting you (and I have Adblock disabled as well) it would point to a hosts file hijack. I know you say that you checked your computer, but these things are unique (as far as I know) to you, so it is highly unlikely it is the forum and it certainly isn't Adsense (they prohibit popups of all kinds).

It isn't a hosts file issue and I've triple checked every running process. I'm positive it isn't me.

Well then I guess you'll just have to leave the website forever.
Oh well.
Or I'll just leave Adblock on.

Just as I am reasonably sure it isn't the forum. Unless it affects another person I have to assume you're hijacked.

Does this happen on other computers/devices and browsers?

I only use this forum on my desktop and my phone (through tapatalk), so I wouldn't know.
