    Ive been getting pop up ads on here from game zook. I thought it was something on my computer but it only comes up when Im on this site. Anybody else having this happen? Its really annoying they pop up when open the site and on anything thats highlighted. I also think stuff is being highlighted as a clickable thing that shouldnt be. Like at the bottom of this under the tags bar it says multiple tags may be seperated by commas. The word multiple is highlighted and if I hover on it a game zook ad pops up.

    Somebody has this once, it ended up being a browser addon.

    In your browser, check for an area that has addons and plugins and such. You should be able to uninstall it from there.

    Depends on what browser you are using, probably in tools, manage toolbars and add ons something like that, start disabling your add-ons one at a time until the problem goes away.
    Do a Google search( disabling add-ons with your browser name) and you can find step by step information
