Default TOTV Pop up Trash

Whats going on with this site.Every time I log in instantly bombarded with
Pop up messages. Your windows need updating , Install flash player,
ect, ect all harmfully im sure
Can't this site run unpolluted? Paid advertising is one thing
Junk spam is another, an off topic post is removed immediately

Nope. Not this site.
You've picked up some malware. You need some good anti-spy, anti-malware programs.

I dd notice this past week that was an ad on TOTV, that if you ran your mouse over it accidentally, it popped up an ad. I think it was for some kind of a razor. Rather annoying, but seems to be gone now.

I would run the free version of malwarebytes. Its a great program. You can download it from cnet.com.

In addition to downloading the free "malwarebytes" through Google, I would check your managed add-ons, to see if something is attached to your PC, that you don't need to run.

My pop-ups stopped when I disabled he extraneous web sites, in the managed add-ons.

Do you only get pop-ups, only when on TOTV?

I'm still working on getting rid of ours. I've tried everything suggested so now my last 2 options are my golf clubs or 12 gauge. Any time a balloon pops is not good news
