windows 10 and google chrome annoying pop-ups

[Graham.]

What do they say? (The precise wording if possible).

[Broadback]

Starting a few weeks ago I am continually getting pop-ups (well literally pop allongs) in the bottom right of my screen. I have tried various selected solutions, non of which had the least effect. any ideas please?

Waterfox?

Although I had to revert to Chrome when the script and popup blocker meant that Verified by Visa wouldn't work.

They vary, but they are all adverts, many for bitcoin.

Can I be the first to suggest Malwarebytes?

[Martin Brown]

Try right clicking on one to see what if any options are available to stop showing or blocking them.

Also given the nature of the advertising I'd be very wary of using the browser for online banking in its present compromised state.

It might also be bitcoin mining in the background as well.

Is it just the browser?

Good luck BB!

Are you one oof those who just minimises things and never closes them down? If you close everything down apart from windows, do they persist? Brian

Waterfox now comes in two flavours, classic and the new one, Has anyone tried the new one?

One thing I'm noticing is a screen refresh in any windows app, apparently randomly which stops my read all working from the screenreader when reading an article. I was wondering if this might be an invisible pop up, probably telling mte the error of using windows 7. I have turned off the two notify tasks but its still there and as nothing seems to change, only the refresh I may need to get malwarebytes as well. I have superantispyware, but it found nothing.

Any help?

Go into your browser advanced settings and clear your browing history, cookies, etc - that's how I stopped it on mine.

Thanks Farmer Giles, I have tried that will see how it goes.
