I hgave reset my router changed the DNS settings and added norton security DNS values and still get the same issue of pop up and redirect ...in chrome especially.

Hello,


I do not recommend usage of IOBIT products, they have bad reputation, and are prone to create problems. The company behind this product was found to be stealing the MBAM database. That is why I suggest to uninstall:
- Advanced SystemCare
- Driver Booster
- Game Booster
- IObit Malware Fighter
- IObit Uninstaller
- Smart Defrag
- Surfing Protection

When you see a word "Booster", "Optimizer", "TuneUp" or similar it is often some kind of silly application. You cannot "boost" you system more than it actually is. Microsoft optimized Windows perfectly and they are constantly working on improvements, so these tools are just selling you nothing but "fog".

Only way to actually boost your system is to upgrade your hardware by adding SSD, more processor power or more ram memory.

• IObit accused of stealing from Malwarebytes
• IOBit sucks at ethics

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.
