pop up ads and virus running rapid

[Ciggofwar]

The pop up ads and malware virus are really extreme now every time I visit the forms from page to page.
thought you might to look into it.

I have no issues with ads on this site. perhaps you got a virus from elsewhere and it is adding ads everywhere

We don't have popup advertisements on the forums, you should only see them in the page. therimmer96 is most likely right.

My family's desktop at home has netnanny installed (very conservative family) so we can't get adblock plus on it since when adblock downloads its lists of what ads to block, it has to block the porn ads/drug ads/tabloid ads too and netnanny blocks the download because it detects the links of the inappropriate ads that adblock is supposed to block and thinks the program is trying to download actual pornography onto the computer. The end result of this is that our computer ends up getting viruses all the time because my mom who is technologically inept makes the bad mistake of clicking on advertisements all the time, especially those phony "download now" advertisement banners that trick you into downloading trojans onto your computer pretending to be a document for her symphony performance that she needs to read. The worst though is when she is shopping for shoes and she clicks on the ads that take her to fake shoe-shopping websites that just want her to make an account so they can steal our credit card information. It really sucks.

Might have just came from google chrome into windows through a bling or bong application, which hardwired in windows OS, which I had to manually reconfigure upfst_ca_92.exe changed the advance configuration from admin to user to disallow the inherent parent sharing qualities, this where is was duplicating from and re-connecting. I dropped chrome as well. It was triggering downloading automatically. Part of the "I'm not a virus" virus lol
Lucky I only have a couple things on the computer. The download was for java update, it was short lived got nailed down. Thought I'd mention it as it was here when it started it ruckus.

Just format the computer, that seems to be easier than what ever you are doing to fix it
