If you get nothing but boxes using Chrome (I do too, today), try highlighting the area and right clicking. You should get a menu option, "Search Google for" which reveals the characters. No idea why it can interpret them in the context menu but not on the rendered page but there you go.

Unless CP has started serving up more ads, I think I have a virus or at the very least malware. For the last two days I've been seeing extra ads below the 'Last Updated' and 'All Rights Reserved' line normally the last thing at the bottom of the page. They are always one of two formats.
- Three banner ads stacked vertically.
- Four square ads aligned hoizontally.
The source for these ads is always cdn3.jsresource and each ad is inside its own iframe. This only happens on my home PC, never at work, on our tablets or on the wife's laptop.
I've tried the following in an attempt to detect anc remove whatever is causing the extra ads - Firebug shows there are over 200 extra calls happening when the ads appear.
- Kapersky, has been running for more than a year, nothing found.
- Malwarebytes, found one malware and removed, can't remember which.
- Spybot, found a few tracking cookies, but nothing major.
- Ad-Aware, found one biggie, END, and more low risk cookies, etc.
- HijackThis, I didn't notice anything odd except for an entry for Ask, which was pointing to a no longer existing location and a couple of BHO, all of which I had it fix.
At this point I have no other ideas on what to attempt except for possibly upgrading to Windows 10 and doing a backup and clean install. Seems a bit extreme to me, but I may not have any other choice.
If anyone has any ideas that I haven't thought of, I would be most appreciative.

What you can try is to create another user account on your computer, and test with that new account if you still have the problem.
If you don't, then just save your documents, delete your faulty user profile, and create a new one.
If you do, then I do not have any other idea than reinstalling your whole OS.
Good luck

Because of some ads?  Seems a tad extreme. Effective though, I'm sure. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

If the problem is OS-based, not profile-based, and the user cannot find the offensive bits, then yes, unfortunately, reinstalling the OS may be quicker than trying to find the problem.
In my work I'm often presented with this kind of issue; I prefer spending two hours reinstalling the OS rather than four hours searching in the registry and file system

Do you get them on all browsers? If not, check your extensions.
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to this check for any lingering files of those extensions or other settings. I once had malware that came with a piece of software I needed and it hijacked my browser. All searches were redirected to their search engine. I had used malwarebytes to remove it, went to search for the files and remove them, removed all extensions and in the end had to revert quite a few of my settings back to what they were.

I does happen in all browsers, which I failed to mention. I've seen it in IE 11, Firefox, Chrome.

You could just allow the ads on CP.
This is how the site gets its money so it can offer you what it has to offer.
I'd rather be phishing!

|

But if the ads are being injected by malware, or a crap ISP, then CodeProject won't get any revenue from them.

Go to BleepingComputer.com[^], click on Downloads and go to Page 5. Once there download TDSSKiller, Junkware Removal Tool and AdwCleaner.
Run them in that order and after the reboot see if anything is still there. If so remove any extension you don't know and you should be all good.

I'll definitely give this a try tonight. During my searches I had seen a couple of hits for BleepingComputer, but as they were at least six years old hadn't really given it much weight.
The only extension I have added to Firefox is Firebug. And I've never installed extensions or add-ons in the other browsers, but I may have to disable or uninstall them anyway to get to the bottom of this. Besides, the virus itself may have install one.
