Use this Adblock Plus it's free and 100% safe availabe for IE, Firefox and Google Chrome. Also available for phones. I rarely get ads on any of the browsers I use. ABP once again is free. https://adblockplus.org/ I have it on all my browsers! It's a Linux add on that works with all windows (OS).

Last summer I spent hours on the computer looking for an item that was out of stock everywhere. This spring an ad popped up for my item and it was on sale at Sears. Bought 2.
I don't mind the pop up ads unless they flash, sparkle or move.

It makes PayPal look more and more attractive because it minimizes the times you have to give someone your confidential information.

BTW, I do not do enough online shopping to check this out, but I have heard, on the larger sites, if you want to buy something, put it in your cart and DON'T check out. Just leave it. In a few days, some of the sites will send you offers to get the same item at a discount. Worth a try if you are not in a hurry.

I had a bad problem with this same thing.. Malware and Adware they have to be removed my good software or by a technician. It just gets worse if you don't get it repaired and/or removed. Sorry i wish it was better news. Sometimes you go on what you think of as a safe site and it attaches to your computer with out your knowledge.
