Solved New PopTab is annoying

[Lillady810]

Now i just got a trade exchange pop up that clicked off by itself. It's happening to all my browsers Microsoft edge and Google chrome(The one i mainly use). It happens on almost all websites except the secure ones like google or youtube.

Are you sure you reset your router correctly?

 

[Lillady810]

Yes, i believe so.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

You do not sound convincing. How is your PC connected to your modem/router? By WiFi or by cable? Do you have other devices hooked to this modem/router?

 

[Lillady810]

Wi-fi. My brothers computer is hooked up to it.

 

[Lillady810]

I use a lenovo ideapad 100s

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Is he having the same issue?

 

[Lillady810]

No, it only seems to be me. My phone is also connected to the wi-fi but nothing is on it either. It's only my laptop that's infected.

OMG YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THIS BUT EVER SINCE I GOT BACK FROM SCHOOL I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY POP UP ADS. I thought no way, there's no way they could magically disappear, so i just thought my mind was playing tricks on me and went to work. But when i got back no pop ups have come up.Not even in my other browser! I dont know if my laptop just needed time to clean itself of my brother orobably resetted the router today when i wasn't home. Omg thank you!

Should I still download everything and farbar scan just to make sure???

 

[Lillady810]

Wait Wait... I just got one. Even though I hadn't gotten one in like 15 mins so far. I guess not fully clean...

 

[Lillady810]

Ok Done! Wow it detected like 5 Malwares What did i have?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

It was nothing serious, don't worry. How is your PC behaving now?

 

[Lillady810]

Great! So far I haven't gotten any pop ups in the last 30 minutes. Thank you so much!
