Pop up ads by Suprasavings
 
Recently while being on TOTV on our pc I have these pop ups that show up after every time I posted or moved around on the site. I followed the directions provided by this outfit telling me how to uninstall but I cannot find it listed in the programs list. This is getting really annoying. I don't know what else to try. Anybody got ideas or tips.:shrug:

You may have a weak or inactive pop-up blocker on your computer. When these pop-up ads get through, they then trick you into click on a link that installs their ad-ware on your computer. It probably won't show up as an installed program.

One time I thought I had the same problem. I downloaded and installed malwarebytes. It found and deleted a few unwanted ad-ware programs. I just used the free trial, did not sign up for paid monitoring. Eventually I also deleted malwarebytes, because it continually asked me to buy the monitoring.

Do you have an anti virus or malware program to run? We suggesting running that, clearing your cookies and cache, and restarting your PC.

download malwarebytes and run a complete scan, then see if you can get the adblock plus plugin for your browser. between the two, you should be set. Make sure your antivirus is up to date too.
Here are some links to help:

Thanks to all for the suggestions. When I return to my pc I'll give everything a try.

Out of the abundance of caution we have the company that host our dedicated server run a full scan and they did not find anything on the server.
