I was just reading the forum and an add blocked the entire page and I had to watch it for several seconds before it would let me " continue" to read the forum. Have you added this feature to the forum? I see this a lot on links for articles in journals. They force you to watch an add ( like you tube also) before you get to see the content you want.
Forced to watch ad (like you tube does)

Yeah, it happens on my iphone too with apps, news and links. Seems to be the way of the future. Very annoying. -

I'll have to check the settings - that sounds like something new. Adsense is not normally that intrusive so it's possible that it's either a rogue advertiser breaking the rules (which Google will boot) or you may have some adware on your machine that would be worth scanning / checking for. -

I have checked the computer with several virus and malware programs and all I can find is Amazon music helper.exe , which is listed as a task/ suspicious pathway. this is with RogueKiller from Bleeping computer. None of my other malware picks it up. I googled it and on Amazon site it is a known processor hog. I deleted it , probably can't download music from amazon without it . I will post again if it happens again. The ad I saw was movie /TV related. It worked just like the ones on you tube.
