Evening all, does anyone know how I get rid of pop up attacks that are opening additional tabs with adverts in? This happens when I am on a site for example this one and click next page. GT

Download and run malwarebytes. Google it.

I heard that most attacks come through Adobe Flash so have set it to 'click to activate'. That way I only use it on YouTube and sites like that. This step might help you too.

Try using Firefox as your browser with Adblock enabled - works a treat for me. Edited by Red-Blue-Yellow (01 Oct 2015 7.40pm)

I cannot connect to the Internet at all and the screen has gone black with all usual icons, bottom right of screen it's saying this version of Windows is not genuine. GT

GT 1)If you can get access to an uninfected pc and have a mem stick download 360 total security and adwcleaner 2)boot pc into safe mode (usually press f8 or f11 straight after restart) if you have no mem stick boot into safe mode with networking then download said programs 3)install programs, launch 360 and let it do a full scan, also install glasswire firewall which is on one of the options tab but you can do that later. 4)after full scan complete and viruses are deleted restart pc and again boot into safe mode, run adwcleaner and let that full scan and again restart but normally without safe mode. if all is well you should stop seeing pop ups etc although some remnants may still be lurking so maybe scan with norton just to be sure (but get rid of norton after it's s*** and resource hungry)

You could also take the HD out of your computer, hook it up to someone else's who has quality virus protection, and run a deep scan of the disk. It will likely hose your OS install though. Best thing to do is to save the important files(do a virus scan on those files), wipe the drive, reinstall the O/S and put some decent anti virus software on it. Norton is not good. I use Kaspersky, which in my opinion is about as good as commercial protection gets. Can be a little annoying at times, but you stay clean.
