Hi everyone

I can't work out what's happened but all of a sudden I constantly get adds popping up in the middle of my web browsing.

I use Google Chrome - can anyone tell me how to stop these blooming annoying pop ups.

Many thanks

    Get adblock.

    But do a scan with MBAM aswell as really it sholdnt be happenning with chrome - I never get any unless on a dodgy streaming site for the football at the start.

    Would this be something called 'CouponDropDown' by any chance?

    I had this rubbish recently , but only in Firefox , and the only way I could get rid of it was by using Mozbackup and a backup of my profile I'd made about a month ago!

    All sorted now. Malaware detected and removed Adware.Hotbar.

    No more popups and I've installed Adblock.

    Many thanks people :-)
