    Anvi is crap ware. It will harm your computer and place more ads on it.

    Get rid of it. Seriously...

    Anvi Review: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2405313,00.as...

    Run a scan with Super Antispyware free. Allow it to remove whatever it finds.

    Block third party ad/ tracking cookies in all the browsers you have installed.

    It is easy to do. Just do a search "how to block third party cookies in 'name of browser' "

    Using Firefox browser with the NoScript and Adblock Plus addons will protect you

    from malware by just visiting a site and block almost all ads.

    Using Pop-up Blocker

    When you install SP2, Pop-up Blocker is turned on in Internet Explorer and set to the medium setting, which means it will block most automatic pop-ups. The default settings for

    the pop-up blocker allow you to see pop-ups that are opened when you click a link or button on a Web site. Pop-up Blocker will also play a sound and show the Information Bar

    when a pop-up is blocked. You can adjust these settings so that Pop-up Blocker works the way you want it to.

    To change Pop-up Blocker settings

    1. Open Internet Explorer.

    2. On the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and then click Pop-up Blocker Settings.

    Internet Explorer Tools menu

    If you want to see pop-up windows from a specific Web site, type the address (or URL) of the site in the Address of Web site to allow box, and then click Add.

    2. On the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and then click Pop-up Blocker Settings.

    3. Select the High setting in the box near the bottom of the dialog box.
