Try to run your scan as an administrator. My web search is annoying. I took me quite a while to get my web search off until spybot told me to run as administrator. It is a free download. I learned never to click on any smiley faces. Hope this helps.

I barely get to read one discussion and there it is showing it's ugly face again and again and again. Please help. I do have an antivirus and pop up blocker on my computer and this is the only site that this is happening on. :-(
Then run CCleaner.
Best I have found so far!!
Malwarebytes Anti-malware (Free Version):

CCleaner (right side of screen by green download arrow:

You should see a difference in speed after running these also.
Another thing...
Don't know what version of windows you run (I have Win XP)
If you click on "TOOLS" up in your browser. In the list of items there should be one that says "POP UP BLOCKER"
Scroll down to it & make sure it is turned ON.

I beleive there is a place in the computer where you can block pop-ups from happening, but I'm no guru - just go by what my sevice tech told me.... but it helped with NO pop-ups at all on any site I get into! Lovely!
