    inundated with popups
    « on: November 22, 2019, 11:48:53 PM »
    I am getting a profusion of adverts 30 or more when I open in the morning,  I have tried all sorts to no avail, even downloaded add guard, It claims to have blocked hundreds, yet I am still getting them, I use google chrome, in the settings it is supposed to block adds, but it does not, I update and run microsoft essentials regularly,  what is the solution? An answer would be greatly appreciated.

    I'd download and install and run a full scan of Malwarebytes to see if you have malware going on as the trigger for this issue.

    Free Edition Here: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/thankyou/

    14-Day Trial of Premium can be used and when time is up you can switch it to free as long as its a home computer and not a business computer according to the licensing they have.

      I have downloaded several anti malware programs an run scans , it just does not work,  Asking for info from sites brings no response that helps,   I am at a loss as to what to do next surely someone has had this problem, I thought I had got it beat by downloading Google Beta, but no , those adds keep coming.

        Odd that you had something that was able to hide from the scan(s). Glad your issue is fixed.
