This is only in THC and only on these four screens (also on the main menu actually).
This was already during the last event (helloween), but that time there was a different one ad. Then everything returned to normal. And here it is again..

Malware was my first guess as well. EW has not added ads to any of the screens.

Could be linked to Steam?? Steam client allows popups by default?

The launcher is based on the embedded Chromium browser. Nothing is shared with other browsers, not even Google Chrome.
