Site is infected with adware

I get a popup ad window with EVERY mouse click, even right button clicks! By the time I read a few posts I'd have around 14 windows opened & the browser is getting real slow.
In some instances the popup ad would block/blank the writing space for new posts & I'm unable to post a new thread.

Examples of ads getting generated:
DNSunlocker
wonderlandads
appscase
flirchi
cloudfront
aliexpress

I tried a different PC & got the same ads/popups it's getting real nasty & making it very hard to browse & post here on Evom.

The problem is that I get an ad/window generated at each mouse click even when writing & editing text, so I'll post examples of those ads.
DNSunlocker pops as a shroud partially covering the screen
One of the ads poses as an official window repair tool.
As an example by the time I'm writing this post & adding the attachments I got 8 window generated.

Sorry bro, but this is your PC problem. What version of windows are you running? Looks like XP? Wow. Yeah...its an adware virus on BOTH of your PC's. You probably shouldn't expect much from a 14 year old operating system that probably hasn't had a security update in about 8 years...

Hi,

The screen shot is typical of a ad ware infection, whether your browser or OS. The fact it's on two different computers can result from either visiting the same sites or via network share. We have no other reports of ad ware, please run an AV package on your computer. Thanks.
