Hi Tes
When I ever I open Logos forums these ugly advertisements show up on my computer
Can you post a screenshot showing these ads?
I get a small ad at the bottom of the screen - as below - but it doesn't really get in my way

Hi Graham, I have forgotten to send the screenshot ,but now I have sent it.
Tes, it looks like you got some malware (a trojan horse you must have inadvertently clicked on at some point). I see from your screenshot it's called Webexp Enhanced.
I Googled that and found that it appears you can simply uninstall that program via the Control Panel. Try that, and I hope it goes away. Here's a video showing how:

Thanks Tes - looks very annoying!
EDIT: Or Rosie's suggestion looks much more helpful[:)]
Tes -
Do you have AdBlock downloaded from the Chrome Web Store? If not, then that would be my first suggestion. The link below should take you directly to AdBlock in the Chrome Web Store.

Edit: Rosie had a great suggestion as well.
Josh and Rosie both have good suggestions and I recommend both. As a separate note, if it is malware its removal will possibly disrupt your Internet protocol and you'll lose internet from that computer. This doesn't happen a lot, but wanted to give you a friendly heads up to make sure you have another way to access the internet if this is the case. Malware Bytes is a good program to use for removing malware.
I have had good success detecting and eliminating malware with this free program http://www.malwarebytes.org/
And in the future be careful about clicking anything that offers you free anything, especially offers to speed up your computer, clean up your registry, and stuff like that. It's often malware tricking you into clicking. Go with trusted software only.
Thank you all of you your advice and help. I could not find the name of the advertsement on control panel, I have installed the free program mentioned by Fredc ,it is now scanning a lot of infected objects are now been detected up to now I am waiting the result an aware where to click at the end..
Tes, you should also check in Chrome Settings to see if there are any unwanted extensions that got installed without your permission. You might be able to uninstall it there.

I have also been pleased with this program
Thank you all for the Christmas gift. Now everything is gone and clean.

A friend of mine said the other day, "If the product's free, you're the product" and with software and apps that is generally the case.
EDIT: Before someone points it out, there are some notable exceptions to this rule in the Open Source community (and some contributors to these forums).
Yup, that's definitely the case with Facebook.
