That appears to be a Google AdSense ad, do you have the Ads Plugin installed?

Yes, I installed the ad plug-in. But I didn’t use it. These ads appear after I install some themes and components.

They shouldn’t exists, but, if you’re not using the plugin try removing it.

Where is the Discourse hosted? Maybe the hosting adds the ads?
