Default Ads and pop ups

Does anyone else have ads and pop up browser ads appear while on Ford Forums? I've thought it was something on my computer and I've checked, but nothing, and it only happens while on Ford Forums.....

The ads are from "Salus" and "Ads by Info"

Ads by info is a virus that gets into your browser. What browse are you currently using?

You will need to go into your control panel and remove ads by info from your program list. Run CCleaner after it is done.

Here is a link to a removal guide. Don't click on any of the links on the page...they just want you to buy stuff. Just read the text and it will show you how to remove it.

Get Avast anti virus free version. It removes these very annoying ads from your browsers. I also use superantispyware which also has a free version. Between these two you can keep your pc free of malware and adware.
