What's This Go-Ads Re-Direct About?

    A few times after logging on boards today, often in the middle of posting, something called go-ads re-directs my entire screen off-site, away from Boards. Why is this happening?

    Once it happens, I don't advise clicking the 'go to site' because that doesn't bring you back to boards, it takes you to a completely different advertisers site.

    The only way to get back to Boards is to close all the tabs and log back infrom a new window... and wait until it happens again.

    Go-ads has every indication of being adware, but has only been happening on boards. Is there a way to disable this annoyance?
