Hello;

I seem to have caught something.  Every couple of days I get hi-jacked by a series of pop ups, M.S. Edge redirects to other sites etc.  I have scanned multiple times with Webroot, adwcleaner, Maywarebytes and a third.  Everytime the scans come back negative.

 

Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance

Hello @geocade have you tried to install a good ad blocker like uBlock Origin?

 

For MS Edge: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/odfafepnkmbhccpbejgmiehpchacaeak

 

For Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm

 

For Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/?src=search

 

HTH,

I will go ahead and upvote TripleHelix’s suggestion for the ublock origin adblocker!  It even blocks youtube ads :)
