Is anyone else getting ads from Steam Gifts?

Got a couple of ads popping up a few weeks back, just had another one now.

Has only happened on SG so far.

And it's not that I'm accidentally clicking the ads at the bottom, I'm getting tabs opening which are telling me how to win an iPhone 5.

The ads aren't even annoying, I'm just confused because they seem to be coming from SG. :3

Don't get adblock. Most websites are only around because of ad revenue.

Most people only use ad-blockers because of stupidly annoying ads.

Get adblock and allow sites that have tasteful, relevant and useful ads. Like steamgifts. The sites that shove flash ads in your face will be blocked and can go to hell. (If I ever visit it again.)

I haven't gotten any popups from SG. I'd check to make sure you don't have adware or some such.

There should never be ads popping up on SG. Did it relate to an ad on the page you were viewing? Post a screenshot of both the popup, and ad that you think triggered it, and I'll look into it further.

Scanned with Malwarebytes and found something. Hopefully fixed now, will send in a ticket if anything else comes up.

Don't use adblock, it blocks Steamgifts from making money.
