Shame, maybe, but if you've ever used the Steam Overlay browser and looked at a Wiki for a game, nine times out of ten some annoying ad will autoplay and then crash the overlay.
If theres one place I'd LOVE to put adblock on it'd be Steam's browser.

Hmm? I don't have any sort of add-blocking software and I don't have this problem. Not a single Flash pop-up so far.

I use to get it all the time on my old laptop, no matter how much I tried I could never be rid of it.

Same thing happens to me, I turned on ABP and all is good now. I think you're right about it being something to do with SG's ads

is it a Salus ad virus thingy? i had it, just uninstall on control panel and if it's not there delete on programs and files (don't forget to finish the task on task manager before)

Check your installed program list in the Control Panel, and remove all unknown junk.
Then reinstall Adobe stuff from their website:

Even if your antivirus doesn't detect them, some crappy browser hijacks might be on your computer.
Best way to get rid of these is to Ctrl+Alt+Del (then launch task manager if on Win7), and check your processes for suspicious ones. Then Google them to make sure, retrace their locations, delete them. Takes some time, but I fixed my sister's laptop that way. Most common ones are "Spigot", "Conduit", "Snap.Do", and there are many more. This list is pretty useful for finding them. If a task is titled with a similar name, it's most probably a hijacker.
