Hi goatmother
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
Sherry is quite correct. We need to understand more about how and what the popup is presenting as, since there are a number of instances in which a popup can be legitimate. We need to know when it appears, i.e., judt when using a specific browser, when accessing specific sites, or when no browser is being used, etc.
 
Manynthanks in advance.
 
Regards, Baldrick
