What can I do about annoying pop-ups that keep redirecting me?

You most likely have a browser redirect trojan installed on your machine.

Download Spybot Search & Destroy from www.safer-networking.org and run a scan in safe mode (Press F8 while computer is booting).

That should fix it

You can do a few things that can help. You can clear all the cookies on the computer and delete temp files. You can do this in your internet options. Also in internet options. You might want to boost up your security settings a little too. This may help. Also run a virus scan just to be safe. If you have a firewall, adjust the settings to help stop this. Defrag computer will help speed it up too.

Sure it is. You obviously have adware. Adware stands for ADvertising supported softWARE and its responsible for annoying pop-ups and website redirection to suspicious / dangerous / fraud / porn websites.

You can remove it, using the below listed, FREE tools ( use up to 3 tools ) :

♣ Malwarebytes AntiMalware

♣ SUPERAntiSpyware

♣ Spyware Terminator

♣ Ad-Aware SE

♣ Spybot Search & Destroy

♣ HijackThis

I`d give special attention to the first 3 programs listed.

HijackThis is able to remove malicious registry entries. Pretty useful for final cleaning.

You could also try going back in time, using System Restore : http://www.ecuhq.com/tricks-f6/create-a-system-res...

Or you could destroy all restore points, just in case, if adware stored itself in them :

1. Click Start / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore

2. Look on the left and click on : "System Restore Settings"

3. Check a box, at : "Turn off System Restore on all drives"

4. Click Apply / Yes / Ok

5. Click Start / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore

6. Click Yes

7. Uncheck that box

8. Apply / Ok
