[General] Fricken loodyads.

Do I have a virus, or is this something unavoidable?
I open up Chrome, go to either The Verge or Survivor Sucks (don't judge me!), and suddenly I'm redirected to loodyads.com and then to some game in Google Play.
It's really annoying.

Is this something hideous these sites ad providers is doing? Or have I installed some dodgy app?
And is there an Ad Filter app for Android? Surely there's a firewall of some sort which can filter out horrible URLs.
