[QUOTE="Zinni, post: 401099, member: 37305"] I took some simple steps to try and get rid of these ads on my friends' browser (currently using google chrome) however, my efforts failed and there still seems to be ads popping up everywhere; ex. [URL]http://prntscr.com/7jty5l[/URL] and here where it actually blocks the use of the left side of the webpage [URL]http://prntscr.com/7ju147[/URL] (these screenshots are safe to click, I am taking and uploading them with a program called "Lightshot" if you wish to google it.) Now, in an attempt to remove these ads, I downloaded Malwarebytes on her computer and ran a scan. That scan removed some files all similar to these; [URL]http://prntscr.com/7ju283[/URL]. I quarantined these files and completely removed them from the computer. I also deleted a lot of program files that I googled and were found to be pop-up ads. Yet, i'm still getting ads from "Strong Signal." Another thing that is happening is since I downloaded the Malwarebytes, it is detecting this; [URL]http://prntscr.com/7jtuyn[/URL] Now, this worries me because when i google the name "ert/fearfromnone/com (I am using / as . so I don't accidentally link any virus here) all these very, very intimidating "sites" pop up; [URL]http://prntscr.com/7ju560[/URL], NONE of which I am not clicking on. One more problem i'd like to touch on is that google chrome's formatting is very off. I have no clue if it is from one of these malwares or just a setting because I have tried to ctrl+scroll to change the size but the format is still leaving a huge gray area at the top of my screen, ex; [URL]http://prntscr.com/7ju686[/URL] (Using youtube as an example because it is an extremely recognizable website.) As you can see there is a gray area that doesn't disappear. Again, I don't know if this is from the same thing causing the ads or not, just rather be safe than sorry. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I explained as much as I could to the extent I could. Hopefully I hear from someone soon. (: [/QUOTE]
