Argh... pop ups and links
So I got a bug that inserts ads like this: https://www.screencast.com/t/j88okVTc
and turns individual words into links: https://www.screencast.com/t/z0Bhomkux8 that produce similar ads when you hover your mouse over the word.
I've run malwarebytes and ccleaner numerous times.
What else can I do?

I ran Hitman and it found no threats, but found 2130 traces. Don't know if removing the "traces" would have any effect, but it would cost $25 to do that. And the bug persists.

Your screen shot from Hitman showed "no threat" no need to try 30 Day free trial. Did you go to steps 4 thru 6?
If you have followed the six steps and the problem persists try posting your problem in the forums below for help:

When Hitman didn't respond as expected (never got the option to activate free trial) I stopped.
It *appears* that the next step, running Zemana, may have done the trick!!
Fingers crossed.
And thanks for your help!!
