My home laptop has gone insane?? Help!

[Daniel]

My laptop has today started popping up a adverts all over the place, PC protection, driver cleaners, java drivers out of date, eBay adverts, even Cliosport has adverts on it now which I've never had before.

Look!

Literally every time I move the cursor or click the buttons, another as pops up.

Someone help please?!

 

[Fudge]

Control alt delete and see if there's a process running that's causing it?

 

[Daniel]

It's f**king ridiculous!!

 

[AK]

Lol at send money to Nigeria.

Have you run a virus scan? Not great on computers but maybe you have a virus?

 

[Alan]

Colshe,

It looks like ad/spyware, download: http://www.lavasoft.com (it's free) - you also might want to download an Ad Blocker too.

Oh and those ads/pop-ups usually appear if you've been downloading..

 

[Gally]

Download "Avast" Dan and run the quick check at least.

 

[Daniel]

I don't seem to be able to download anything. It's so f**king slow.

 

[scotty2hotty81]

You need to try it in safe mode.

 

[Daniel]

You need to try it in safe mode.

Say what?

 

[Alan]

You need to try it in safe mode.

Christ, he'll end up with the laptop half'd in two and him LED on the floor next to it..

Stop looking at dwarf p**n tbh.

What are you on, Windows 7? Should come with Defender or MSE installed so give one of those a whirl, hopefully you won't need to download anything that way.

Also whack open Control Panel and go to 'Programs and Features' and see if there's anything suspect in there...

 

[Daniel]

I did genuinely crack one out to some midget p**n last weekend. Something about it really turned me on.

Defender? Mse? Where would I find these?

Someone's being going on naughty sites...!


As I'm in the same boat as longy, forever using adwcleaner and malwarebytes

 

[Mr Plums]

Mine started having pop ups when i installed the incorrect google chrome.

 

[BoatNonce]

I can just imagine him raging at this. Definitely browsing for the stuff only Knuckles dreams about.

The one bad side of never getting any viruses etc through at work is I have no idea which software is any good for getting rid of s**t like this

 

[imprezaworks]

Mines been the same albeit on scoobynet not on here. Will take the advice that's been said

Is this free? Really need a new computer in work, it's slower than slow.

I've got the same thing, it's called grabrez and it's a complete coont. I've had it once before and followed online guides to remove it but this time its different. f**king spam shite. I will try the program above and see what happens

 

[imprezaworks]

Yes

Cheers
