Popups? Sounds bad.

What I do when/if I get those is: Control panel > uninstall programs > sort by most recently installed > look for shady crap and uninstall.

Another thing is to go in task manager and look for other shady stuff.

*Sigh* Okay, here we go.

Do you have an active always-on antivirus program? If not, get Avast Antivirus, AVG, Or Avira Antivirus. You can read more about them here: http://lifehacker.com/5865356/the-be…

Download one of those antivirus software suites and install it. Make SURE you are getting them from a safe legitimate website. CNET is always a good place to download software from, as it's very safe and fast. Run a a full system virus scan with whatever antivirus program you choose. If it finds anything bad, have it remove it. Next, download and install the free version Malwarebytes Anti Malware from here: https://www.malwarebytes.org/ This isn't like your typical antivirus. It only runs when you run it, and looks for different kinds of virus and malware than what your typical always-on anti virus. You can read more about it here: http://lifehacker.com/the-difference…

Once you've installed Malwarebytes Anti Malware, update it if it asks to be updated and then run the full system scan with it. If it finds anything bad, have it remove it. If you want a further level of protection, you can get Spybot Search and Destroy, but that program is a little more complicated. It puts into place preventative measures as well has having active adware and spyware removal tools. If you need help using that program just ask.

As far as Adblock Plus, you can get it for either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. You can get Adblock Plus for Firefox here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/…

You can get Adblock Plus for Google Chrome here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…

When you install them, they should function fine for your needs right away. Know that you should never have popups for fake updates on your computer's desktop. The only time you should ever get ad popups is on your web browser, and with Adblock Plus installed you shouldn't get them very often at all. If you are having popups on your desktop that aren't taskbar notifications for things like Steam or your Antivirus program then you have a virus or some other malware infecting your computer.

You -always- need an active always-on antivirus program like Norton, Avast Antivirus, BitDefender, Avira, AVG, etc to protect your computer from viruses, worms, and other threats. Never run your Windows PC without one.

Agreed. ITS FOR THE NORDS! Yeah Skyrim deals with a lot of (speciesism?) racism too. The Nords have a racial superiority complex almost as bad Hutu vs. Tutsi (Nords Vs. Altmer aka High Elves).

"Luckily I have Norton."

Oh, you poor innocent child.

Start menu -> msconfig.exe -> go to "startup" and uncheck pretty much anything that isn't Microsoft or immediately recognizable. If it isn't AMD/NVidia/Intel/Microsoft don't let it run at boot. Likewise, go to services, check "Hide Microsoft services" and set pretty much everything that remains to not run. Reboot computer.

At this point go to the Control Panel, Programs and Features, Remove Programs. Look for any shit like "search aid PRO" or "AVG Search Toolbar" (fucking hate that one, just shows how 'legitimate' software can be a royal pain in the ass) and uninstall it. If that doesn't work, there are other utilities that can help.

Reboot again.

Go through a normal day, taking note of anything that doesn't work properly. Look at the list of services and startup services for anything that you disabled and is related to what isn't working. Re-enable it if necessary.

Uninstall Norton, install Microsoft Security Essentials (live protection, not amazing but pretty decent) and Malwarebytes Antimalware (set it to scan every night when you aren't using the computer) or Common Sense 2015 Gold Edition. I have been running with just the in-built Windows Defender since ~2010 and I haven't got a virus. Ever. And I watch staggering amounts of porn. It just comes down to being smart, having adblockplus installed ( https://adblockplus.org to install it on any browser — even Internet Explorer), and ignoring "LOL UPDATE YOUR CODECS XDDDD" popups and the like.

No, sorry, Microsoft Security Essentials is crap now. Microsoft has stopped supporting it like they used to, and it fares very poorly in antivirus detection and removal tests:

http://lifehacker.com/5865356/the-be…

http://lifehacker.com/5964274/micros…

Also, you should NEVER go without an active antivirus program. You might think you're safe by being smart, but that only gets you so far. Windows Defender is a joke, because it only protects against a very limited amount of things that most virus making dickbags know how to easily circumvent.

Ugh, I used Avast once. My mom's boyfriend has some unnatural fetish for it and installs it on her computer when I'm not looking. Damn thing eats up all the RAM it can find and I want to shoot whoever decided that "lol we'll have the AV *TALK* to people!!! lol!" and the interface is almost as tragic as Adobe Creative Suite for irresponsiveness.

I believe MBAM has a 'pro' version that has real-time scanning (or does the free one? I don't use it and thus have no idea), and even while scanning it uses less resources than Avast does while idle.

Processor: AMD (wallows at peasantry) FX-8 Core Black Edition 8320 (149.99). Hard drive: Seagate Black Series 1TB. Memory Ram: Kingston 8GB DDR3 kit. OS: Winshit (Windows) 7 Home. Antivirus; Norton's highest offering. Graphics card is dual fan cooled and runs at 26 degrees C and 62 Degrees Celsius max temp. MSI builds a damn good graphics card. I just want my game to crash less!

08/15/2014 at 01:51

Pro MBAM costs money, and I wouldn't bank on using just that for a full suite of protection. The free version does not have real-time scanning. It is what is called an "on-demand" program, meaning it only runs when you turn it on to run (like starting your web browser). Avast is a good, solid Antivirus, but I agree it has become much more annoying than it used to be. That first Lifehacker link has a link in it to how you can disable some of it's annoyances. I haven't used Avast in a while since Norton 360 is free through Comcast.

Adblock is a browser plug in, not a downloadable program. In any computer with google chrome or firefox you can search plugins or extensions and pick it up.

If you're getting popups outside of your browser, Ad block won't do shit.

Then just search extentions for chrome, or add-ons for firefox. It's a pretty easy one-step process.

Note, they also block youtube ads too.
