Popups - no rhyme or reason
My wife, Patty is running windows Seven on her HP lappy. Within the past couple of weeks with either Chrome or IE she keeps getting the same ad popups and websites to the extent she is ready to throw the computer away. She's tried resetting all the settings to original settings, has popup blocker on. Just reinstalled and run Avast, made all security settings higher, etc... changed Google settings - nothing is keeping these sites and popups out. These seem to just show up on certain pages. Doesn't happen when she's on her search pages. Deal keeper pulls up, "Warning your computer is infected" etc... These gett so bad half of her screen is popups.
Please anyone who can help. This is driving her crazy (and me too! :))
