How to remove click ads from fresh WordPress site?

I bought a hosting and domain from Godaddy, Installed WordPress. Now the site is showing ads on every page after clicking anywhere on the pages or in the admin section as well. I have tried manual WordPress install also, changed the cPanel password, FTP password. Removed all files before fresh install. It starts showing ads immediately after install. Please suggest a solution.

WordPress doesn't include ads of any kind, so there's no standard process for removing them.

Possible reasons you could be seeing ads are:

  • Your host is adding them, possibly as a condition of a cheap/free hosting plan.
  • You installed a pirated theme or plugin that contains malicious code.
  • Your website has been hacked in some other way. This seems unlikely if you saw them right after installing.
  • You have been hacked, and you have malware on your computer that's displaying ads on web pages.
  • Your ISP is injecting them.

This site is not an appropriate place for resolving any of those issues, so my suggestion would be to start by speaking to your host.
