A while ago, i deleted McAfee LiveSafe due to the severely negative reviews of it and due to it blocking things like games and programs when i try opening them. However, after deleting it, i've been getting an unnatural amount of ads. I split them into 2 categories; popups and "normal" ads. The popup ads occur whenever i click on something, doesn't matter if it's on a link or just on a blank space on the page, shit just pops up. It even happens on google. Usually, they happen like this: 1 or 2 pages that pop up on a new tab and 1 that pops up in a new window of sorts (Using Firefox atm), in that order. The "normal" ads sometimes happen, sometimes don't. Here's how they go: 2 squares on the bottom left and right side of the browser and one long rectangle which goes into both of those ads. Sometimes, i also get some weird "buy some stuff" add on either the left of right side of the screen. All of these ads can be closed down, however it usually takes some time because of the amount of ads. Can anyone tell me how i can fix this problem? Should i get it checked out by a professional or something?
Additional Info:
Usually, the popup ads start out be being a link to something called "warmportrait", but they usually change to something else like ReImage Repair or something like that.
A lot of time, the popup ads want me to transfer information to some people.
In the bottom right or left of the screen, after closing the "normal" ads, i tend to see something like "transferring information to (insert link here)" or "loading information from (insert link here)".
Thanks in advance!
Thanks! Although running the check and scan didn't seem to work, deleting a little plugin called "Primary Color" seemed to help! Can't thank you enough, this has been pestering me for months now!
