You didn't mention computer type, operating system, ISP and if you are running any type of security software in the system, sometimes this info can help. For starters, what many do is to download the free version of Malwarebytes, once downloaded to the system run a MWB scan in Safe Mode with Networking..to see if it comes up with any bugs and attempt removal. In your case, IF you are not able to do the download with your browser because of the issues you are having, get a flash drive, go to a clean computer, download MWB to the FD, input the FD to the sick system and do the scan from the FD, again, in Safe Mode with Networking and see what results you get.
This pops up when I am on AOL, and it keeps opening screens with ads until there are maybe 20 or 30. It overlaps my email so I can't finish writing a message.
I googled it, found out it is some type of malware or virus, and I found some sites that sell removal software for $39.95.
Do I need to buy their software or can I do it myself? How can I be sure I remove all of it? I read that it often hides parts of it under other names or in other locations.
Thanks,
Ellie
