Do you have an ad blocker installed in your browser(s)? That would take care of ad choices. But some sites such as game sites
may not allow you to use their content unless you allow ad choices.
Use the programs below to clean, remove adware and remove malware.
Use CCleaner to remove Temporary files, program caches, cookies, logs, etc. Use the Default settings. No need to use the
Registry Cleaning Tool...risky. Pay close attention while installing and UNcheck offers of toolbars....especially Google.
After install, open CCleaner and run by clicking on the Run Cleaner button in the bottom right corner.
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
Malwarebytes - Clean Mode
If you are unable to run a scan using MBAM:
Follow the instructions in the thread below. Make sure to download the MBAR linked in it. Let me know if you're not able to launch it and run a scan.

According Geobids website it has targeted you because you visited a website that uses them for targeted advertising. You can
block their ad and tracking cookies...third party cookies....from installing in your browser(s). Once blocked, run CCleaner to remove
the existing ones.
How to disable third-party cookies in all major web browsers
QUOTE from Geobids site: ......The retargeting of a previous site visitor is accomplished by placing an invisible tracking “pixel” on your site. This pixel then places a visitor-specific (invisible and anonymous) “cookie” on the visitor’s web browser. All cookied visitors are now part of your key advertising audience.
According to the website...those targeted ads could appear for 2 hours or 2 months.
