Unless CP has started serving up more ads, I think I have a virus or at the very least malware. For the last two days I've been seeing extra ads below the 'Last Updated' and 'All Rights Reserved' line normally the last thing at the bottom of the page. They are always one of two formats.
  • Three banner ads stacked vertically.
  • Four square ads aligned hoizontally.
The source for these ads is always cdn3.jsresource and each ad is inside its own iframe. This only happens on my home PC, never at work, on our tablets or on the wife's laptop.

I've tried the following in an attempt to detect anc remove whatever is causing the extra ads - Firebug shows there are over 200 extra calls happening when the ads appear.
  • Kapersky, has been running for more than a year, nothing found.
  • Malwarebytes, found one malware and removed, can't remember which.
  • Spybot, found a few tracking cookies, but nothing major.
  • Ad-Aware, found one biggie, END, and more low risk cookies, etc.
  • HijackThis, I didn't notice anything odd except for an entry for Ask, which was pointing to a no longer existing location and a couple of BHO, all of which I had it fix.
At this point I have no other ideas on what to attempt except for possibly upgrading to Windows 10 and doing a backup and clean install. Seems a bit extreme to me, but I may not have any other choice.

If anyone has any ideas that I haven't thought of, I would be most appreciative.
