Why The Hell Am I Getting These Ads?

What browser is that?

From your bookmarks I see you use torrents.
Once you start downloading items from those, nothing can be certain about the state of the Windows system.

Ads from Wiki are indicative of malicious installations.

("Visiting the affected website over HTTPS (HTTP Secure) might sometimes remove the rogue ads, because HTTPS sessions are encrypted. There are browser extensions like the Electronic Frontier Foundation's HTTPS Everywhere that enable HTTPS by default on websites that support it.")

Firefox, with "HTTPS Everywhere" accomplishes this.
