What is Mian youtube services? and why would these ads come up in the first place?
Thanks.
It's hard to understand what ads you are talking about, a screenshot of the issue would help. But ads on youtube are normal unless there are popups on the page. For the normal ads an adblocker should deal with them, but if its an adware infection you're dealing with then you may need to run a few more scans.

But don't hesitate to make a post in Malware Removal Assistance as the people over there can help you more than I can.

If you have a gmail account go to its settings and look at personal ads. Going on certain sites can turn on weird ads. Not using an adblocker can help with patience while supporting content creators so think wisely..

I don't think so it's purely a malicious, the advertisements are uncontrollable on which content will be display considering the server and location, but of course it's undergone with screening to avoid malicious ones.

Better yet add adblocker instead, I've always struck advertisement related on dating in usual website but fortunately no serious issue occurred.

sorry for undigging an old thread but i seem to have the same problem. The thing is, ads that display look like they were "from outside", they appear regardless of adblock, often where clip description should be and eat up a truckload of ram slowing down the whole page and browser. They also alter google search results making first couple results some fishy ad links, often in Russian. Scanned pc with malwarebytes, ran ccleaner, removed undesired software and add-ons, heck i even reinstalled firefox and checked for any suspicious launching instructions. Nothing helped. I hope someone finds a solution because so far this whole thread is a bunch of obvious answers that anyone would try before asking on a forum. Here are some screenshots:

Doesn't sounds like youtube would approve of these ads, you might wanna do a complete scan with malwarebytes (usually very good at finding adware/PUP)

Also you should look at your installed extensions to see if any of them are new or something you don't remember installing, could be hijacking your webpages and giving you malicious ads

What software have you installed recently?

You could download Norton Power Eraser and adwCleaner, post the results here and see what happens. If nothing is detected you can simply ask MWTs resident malware removal expert for help.

Reason why I stated NPE is because the software has more of an aggressive action of scanning compared to your regular on demand scanners. Heck you could even try Zemana. AdwCleaner would be for any PUP or adware present (if found) .

Hope you find a solution.
