I was told I had a malware or virus, I downloaded malwarebytes and changed the anti-virus, both detected problems that apparently were fixed but the pop ups didn't stop, so I downloaded the ad-block plus, but its not working I still have the same amount of pop ups, any ideas how I can fix this? please! Thank you in advance.

Description of adwcleaner:
AdwCleaner is a program that searches for and deletes Adware, Toolbars, Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP), and browser Hijackers from your computer. By using AdwCleaner you can easily remove many of these types of programs for a better user experience on your computer and while browsing the web.
The types of programs that AdwCleaner targets are typically bundled with free programs that you download from the web. In many cases when you download and install a program, the install will state that these programs will be installed along with the program you downloaded. Unless you perform a Custom install, these unwanted programs will automatically be installed on your computer leaving you with extra browser toolbars, adware, and other unwanted programs. AdwCleaner is designed to search for and remove these types of programs.

Did you check your browser settings to make sure your popup blocker is enabled? Also you could try clearing your cookies and cache, and resetting your computer before you try to fix the problem. Until then, use a different browser or (sigh) contact the Geek Squad from Best Buy or your internet provider.
