Getting Rid Of A Pop Up On Pc.

[saintpeter48]

Everytime I turn my PC on there is the same pop up right in the middle of the screen, there is no way I can move it, reduce it or delete it. It has only appeared this last week, any ideas how I can get rid of it please. Thanks in advance.

You can get Adblocker for chrome. Google it and click add it on.

What anti virus / malware are you running?

It would help if we knew which browser you are using and which operating system. W7, W8, W10? Most pop ups can be sorted out in your settings but some may be the result of a malware attack and will need a scan running to identify it and then removal. You may need to go into advanced settings.

Further to the above, it might also help us to know what the pop-up actually says. For example, does it appear to be a system message (e.g. a Windows error message or something like "please install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player"), does it try to tell you (even if falsely) that there's a virus on your computer or does it invite you to click on a link to go to a website?

Does the pop-up appear when you boot into Safe Mode? (To get into Safe Mode with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 keep tapping F8 during the boot-up process until you see a screen with various boot options. Use the up and down keys to navigate to 'Safe Mode with networking' and hit 'Enter'. For Windows 10, see here: https://www.digitalcitizen.life/4-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-10 ). If you can get into Safe Mode without the pop-up appearing it should be possible to tackle the problem from there (either by running an anti-malware program or by using System Restore).

What does it say or look like ? When does it appear ?
Have you tried an AV scan ? What about a MalwareBytes scan ?

Thanks to all that replied. I installed Malwarebytes and it seems to have got rid of the pesky ad!!
