This is because of ArcadeYum. This site has started causing other sites to advertise on my PC. Their uninstall instructions are bogus and if you unsubscribe, you still get ads. I need to know how to block them and all of their ad affiliates.

hello frankmmarasco, this may be a sign of adware/malware that is running on your pc.

you might want to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner, which are specialised in browser hijackers and adware.
