might be a virus

You need a good pop-up blocker.

If your using Firefox I would recommend adblock plus. It's a great addon and i've not had a pop-up since installing it.

Link:
https://addons.mozilla.org/downloads/latest/1865/adblock_plus-1.0.2.xpi

It's a direct link and will start downloading and trying to install soon as you click it so make you want it before click but yeah I have that installed to my Firefox and it's awesome.

Informaiton Link:

Hope this helps.

Well there's your problem then! IE's popup blocker controls may as well not be there whereas one of firefox's strongest features is its security and defence against them. I don't know what things you don't like about firefox but if you want a similar experience install a theme that makes it look like IE :)

Oh yeah, and spyware and virus scan just in case. If its from the same site there's a pretty high possibility it's that

[Jordan:A]

Doing a virus scan, nothing so far

[Jordan:A]

Got nothing on the virus scanner

try using Spybot Search and Destroy, see if that picks up anything :)

[Catzsy]

I had that problem and I used Maxthon. It works quite well as pop up blocker.
Then I checked C and found some odd files and deleted them and it was fine.
Spybot didnt work for me though although it is good. :)

[x-glow]

I had them before the same ones you have, I ran Spybot search & destroy but it didnt do anything I needed to run Addaware.

[Jordan:A]

i'll do the Spybot search thing, if its not fixed then i'll try Maxathon

[Wolves]

Too much pr0n my friend! best thing to do really is reboot, every time someone has gave me a PC with this problem, i've never been able to get em' off, I've always rebooted, as it's probably quicker than actually trying to remove the pop-ups anyway.

GL though.

You could also try Advanced System Care.
It cleans up your computer and deletes your history etc.

You don't need to use a different browser, download it, don't use as a default browser. Just run it and leave it minimised. :)

That didn't work

[Toughened]

That didn't work
Only other suggestion I have is AVG Free. If that doesn't work I'm out of ideas sorry.

Like I said ^ lol.

[The Professor]

Your best options are to use a browser with a popup blocker or reformat your PC. If you can't be bothered to do those its your problem tbh.

[Jordan:A]

Like I said ^ lol.
And I said ( I think)
AVG didn't work

[Jordan:A]

Also they come up when I use a different browser

[TonyBest]

try getting malware Bytes Anti malware to detect the popup virus

[GommeInc]

PeerGuardian worked for me years ago, other than that I don't know what to suggest :/ That may not even work if it's something on the PC. Other than that, other suggestions have already been suggested.

[Chippiewill]

@catzy Actually pr0n is uncovered computer hardware.... (Computer nerds '[censored]' at it :P). Ever wondered why custom pc builders like clear sided cases? xD

[Recursion]
