I don't get it. I have Norton Anti Virus, and Windows Defender. When I run a scan, it says your computer is running normal.. but it still does it! I also use Google Chrome, which I was told was safer.. But it seriously is driving me bonkers..
My pop up blocker is on.. and when it takes me to those sites I copy and paste the link in my block sites, and sometimes that works but, for the most part it doesn't.
Anyone have suggestions, or advice? |
I was having similar problems as you and it turned out to be the Google Redirect virus. I think I got mine on facebook by clicking a link. I tried everything...malware bytes didn't find anything...spybot found a few little things, but that didn't help. AVG ran clean scans. I finally called Matt at Remote Tek Support! That guy is wonderful and his fees are very low compared to other places. He got rid of that virus and I was so grateful to him. He has helped others here at YT and is also a member. His website is
Remote Tek Support If you are still having problems, I highly recommend this guy! Good luck!
