Lately I have been bombarded with popups,I have the popup blocker set to block most popups, have

Malaware Pro , that runs in the background,along with AVG internet security. My computer has a 1t HD, 16

Ram, Intel 7.Win 8.1. I have not relly entered any new programs. Any way to get rid of these annoyances? Also

almost every time I switch to another program I get a message that I have to install Java, that I have

had since the day I re-installed. T.I.A.

@durkinjt,

Run these two cleaners to get rid of crapware that finds pop-ups then like ddp and aldan said install Adblock....

--AdwCleaner--

Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode to your Desktop.

? Close all open programs and internet browsers.
? Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
? Click on Delete tab follow the prompts.




?Junkware Removal Tool--

Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your Desktop.
? Please close your security software to avoid potential conflicts.
? Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or 7, right-mouse click it and select Run as administrator.
? The tool will open and start scanning your system.
? Please be patient as this can take a while to complete, depending on your system's specifications.

I don't have Java installed, it's an exploit magnet.. :(

But, sites will tell you if you have Java Script disabled. IE don't use Java Script and I don't think you can turn it off in the newest Firefox. Don't use Chrome so don't know..
