We only run Google ads at this time.

For the ads that you see check out this:

No, I've checked it and there's nothing.


I had sourceapp adware some days ago but I uninstalled it. There's also nothing in my control panel that I can uninstall.

Get a decent anti-virus or anti-malware scanner. You are obviously infected with some adware.

http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ <- Good scanner which finds a lot of stuff.

Do not use any ad blocker. Just do not visit sites that annoy you with advertising.
Remember that by seeing our ads you actually support us.

Sometimes not visiting sites that have ads is not an option. Ad-blockers are perfect for such sites. Argonath however, does not have annoying ads in my opinion. For Argonath, you can simply allow advertisements to be displayed in your ad-blocker. Problem solved.

That however, does not solve the problem posted by Belta. He will still need to identify and remove the virus from his computer. Therefore, a good scan with Hitman Pro should help him :)

Actually it is. 
By letting the onwers know and voting with your feet you will stop the annoying ads.
Of course those owners who are already busy with illegal things will not listen....

Well, There're too many sites that're showing me these shitty advertisements. I'm not opening them. It's working fine for me now. It's not showing me more advertisements.

While the essence of that idea is very true, in practice it is hard to actually do, because 90% of the web is using advertisements. I use an ad-blocker, so no sites annoy me with any ads, i do not even see them. Some sites, such as Argonath, who deserve their ad-income, are whitelisted in my ad-blocker.

Adwcleaner and malwarebytes. Try those two, did the job for me.

Had similar adware, Priceless, uninstalled if from the Add/Remove program and from the Chrome extensions.

You don't "uninstall" adware. It is a form of spyware. You have to clean it off your system using some sort of security application designed to remove that type of malicious software. It just readds itself otherwise, and may even install other malicious and/or unwanted applications.
