No, it's likely malware / spy ware. CC still has no ads for premium.
So it's not from the site.

Nope no joke, your computer is infected. I use this which is a good program, http://www.malwarebytes.org/ along with this http://www.surfright.nl/en. These are just extra additions I use in case my virus protection misses anything.

Surely you have antivirus protection ;)
