Will edit here in a bit once i finish the fix. The pop ups only happen when I click in browsers, and malwarebytes is blocking ports outbound, i'm sure i would have more pop ups happening without it. I also bring my laptop to work and no other computers have this issue. So using another internet, everything happens the same, even with windows update. :(

Fix list is in earlier post. And yes even at work. Wherever I go, no matter what internet I use. :( Would uninstalling all browsers then reinstalling do something do you think? I have bookmarks in oprah and firefox, not sure how i save those since the browsers are different than chrome. When malwarebytes shows it is blocking, you remember how it says chrome is sending it, well it changes depending on browser so if i close chrome and use oprah then malwarebytes says oprah is sending. Oh and i also don't get actual pop ups in oprah. . . . . . . never mind. They are now finally happening.

Yes that would be one way to go as I cannot see what is causing the problem.. Although adware is getting very smart now and actually subverting some browser files

When you uninstall/reinstall the browsers ensure that none are set to synchronise with online data as that could re-install the problem

How do I do that with chrome so it doesn't auto sync it with being windows 10? Also how do I somehow save my bookmarks in the various browsers? Is this possible?

 

Also is there actually a separate file online for downloading microsoftedge aside from having to download and install windows 10?

 

And i know there are some programs that when uninstalling it checks to see if there are any remainder files remaining after the installation that it can then delete if user chooses too. Would this be a good idea?

 

Do you know of any newer browsers that have been made that combat more browser based malware?

Edge is fairly safe at the moment as it is new. With regards to full removal you could use something like revo uninstaller http://www.revounins...e_download.html

There should be an export bookmark function in all browsers

I have instructions for removing Chrome


1. If you have bookmarks, let's save them by exporting them - Export Bookmarks
2. Then I need you to go Google Sync and sign into your account
3. Scroll down until you see the "Stop and Clear" button and click on the button. At the prompt click on "Ok"
4. Now we need to uninstall chrome. Note: When asked about user data or settings you must remove this also so please check the box.

Firefox has details here https://support.mozi...m-your-computer

For IE go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced and click reset

I'm guessing the reset button at the bottom is the "stop and clear button" since there was no actually button saying that, only a reset button. That cleared all my data it said.

 

Also I used that program to run a scan just to see what it would find. I took pictures and have not done anything. I have added pics. Are any of these files/types safe to delete?
