Those are ads that pretend to inform you your computer is infected as a mean to incentive you to click on their "download" button which would activate the download and install of a proper malware (virus, trojan, keylogger). Malicious ads like that prey on gullible users and are at best immoral, at worst illegal. IB and the censors do not condone those illegal actions and do not act on the feedback (+50 pages thread) on this subject. You know what to do !
