ads popping up

power pants

I have mcafee anti virus bought and installed onto my laptop

Everytime I open a website im getting literally dozens of adds popping up on my screen and ads on the website too

If I open a thread or new page I get redirected to quiz's and questionaries

Surely Mcafee should sort this out?

How do I get rid of this, im short of smashing the laptop in my face and buying a new one

It's free simple programs to run. On phone so just Google it.

what ad block are you using on the pc?

just ran malaware and it had 45 items to be quarantined. restarted my computer and still have some ads popping up but not nearly as bad

Skerries

McAfee will stop viruses and malware but is not designed for stopping ads, you should have the adblock extension installed for that

Luckydog69

Download AdwCleaner ( cannot post link).. Very good program and designed to get rid of crappy popups, adverts etc.
