    Did you allow what RogueKiller found to be deleted?

    How is your computer now?

    It seems like Roguekiller identified a couple of things it found and gave an option to eliminate them, but I did not do so. I didn't recall an instruction to do that. Since I just got the same popup/audio again, I still have the problem.

    Should I run Roguekiller again, and allow it to delete what it finds?

    The site y our visiting is hosting something it shouldn't or they are not aware of it being attached.

    When you have that pop up simply, open task manager, locate your browser and right, to end task.

    It seems like Roguekiller identified a couple of things it found and gave an option to eliminate them, but I did not do so. I didn't recall an instruction to do that
    right-click on Roguekiller and select Run as Administrator (for Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 users)
    Click on the Start Scan button in the right panel, which will bring you to another tab, and click on it again (this time it'll be in the bottom right corner)
    Wait for the scan to complete
    On completion, the results will be displayed
    Check every single entry (threat found), and click on the Remove Selected button
    On completion, the results will be displayed. Click on the Open Report button in the bottom left corner, followed by the Open TXT button (also in the bottom left corner)
    This will open the report in Notepad. Copy/paste its content in your next reply

    I would recommend you use a pop up blocker if your still having problems with that.

    How is your computer now?

    Let me run my laptop for a day or so to see whether or not the popup repeats.

    Please recommend a popup blocker, preferably one that's free.

    I clicked on Add to Firefox, and then saw a tab saying it was installed. Made a small donation via PayPal, BUT I don't see any evidence anywhere of AdBlock being installed. Suggestion?

    I have not seen/heard the obnoxious popup that prompted me to start this thread for the last couple of days. If you want to declare victory, let me know.

    Thanks much for your help. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2018!

    Yes!

    • Please download DelFix or from Here and save the file to your Desktop.
    • Double-click DelFix.exe to run the programme.
    • Place a checkmark next to the following items:
    • Activate UAC
    • Remove disinfection tools
    • Click the Run button.
    • -- This will remove the specialized tools we used to disinfect your system.
      Any leftover logs, files, folders or tools remaining on your Desktop which were not removed can be deleted manually (right-click the file + delete
      ).

    Will read: adblockplus.org/getting_started

    I neglected to check Activate UAC when I ran DelFix (I went too fast...) Is this a problem?
