pop up virus from flixtor.ac any help please?

blaque*angel

Hi.

Even though we pay for multiple movie streaming sites my children went onto flixtor.ac, now the laptop is infected with a pop up virus.
Windows defender full scan doesn't find it, but these pop ups keep occuring, It's a new laptop too! sighs...

Any advice on how to remove this?

I tried to restore windows 4 times and it fails!?

Thank you in advance

Spybot S&D

I'd run them in that order.

I'd run MBAM followed by ADWCleaner (both from MalwareBytes).

OP you dont have a virus - you have likely installed some adware inadvertantly ..

Follow this advice , reboot and you will be good to go

But you guys download any program from such streaming sites. You can't get infected unless you install any program.
