Ad popups?

Okay, so I'm getting really random ad pop up video's and at first I thought it might be adware? Well I ran some scans and nothing showed up, later I realized it only happened while I was on the Cantr website, any idea what could be causing this? Also, if it does turn out to be something going on with my computer then does anyone know why it might be Cantr activating it, or potentially just coincidence maybe?

Also, if you can then maybe give me some advice on how to fix it, it happens no matter what browser I use and seemingly only does it while I'm on the Cantr main page or the forums, when I'm logged in and when I'm logged out.

Edit: Okay, so verified that it's not just this site. Definitely must be something on my end, I don't know why my antivirus isn't finding it though.

Try malwarebytes, great product for getting malware off your machine.

This sounds like some malware, yes. Cantr have no popups.

No anti virus or malware program will catch them all. I suggest finding another one. PM me if you're interested in some suggestions.
