How to Resolve pop ups all the time and pre-installed windows ?


Hello ,
 
I am using windows 7 64 bits on Intel i5. After playing a pop up flash movie my system is behaving weirdly. I am getting a lots of pop ups all the time and pre-installed windows defender is also not working. May anyone please help me to identify the problem and what is going on inside my system?

Install Firefox/Chrome and install the extension Adblock, that should fix all the pop-up issues. As for Windows defender I wouldnt worry about it, you dont need it if your running Webroot.

Hello marry_smith. Welcome to the Community.

To add to what Rakanisheu said, after installing Firefox, go to Options> Content and check Block pop-up windows.

Well that's true Amit but adding Adblock Plus for Firefox & Chrome you don't see any Pop-ups or Advertising!

Haha you're absolutely right. But I keep that option checked for an added precaution anyways.;)

I aappreciate your reply. But I already used Adblock Plus in my past that time also shown the same problem with me. I need to re-install the Window or not ?

Your problem isnt 100% clear, are you seeing these pop-ups inside your browser? Or are you getting them on your desktop? You shouldnt ever had to re-install windows for pop-ups. Are you seeing any other issues? Like audio adverts being played through your speakers? Search redirects?

Can you please Submit a Support Ticket so the Threat Team can look into your scan log to see if you have any PUA's and if you do they can help you remove them.
 
Thanks,
