Today I just started getting ads above and next to the videos. Is this right or is my browser somehow compromised?

Am I supposed to be getting ads? they are super distracting.

I think your browser is compromised, lol.

Download MalwareBytes and see if you have any viruses.

Edit Edit: Get the free version.

Pretty sure that's not normal. I've never experienced it. Which browser and version are you using? Logan R's advice to check with the free version of Malware bytes is good. I used it last week on a friends computer and it did exactly what it needed to.

The same thing is happening to me. I figured treehouse just needed to raise revenue, so I thought, all right, anything they can do to keep up and running! But the ads are SUPER distracting, lol, so I thought I'd check the forum, glad I did!
