Please help me! I see pop-up ads on the blank space of every web page I visit. It takes me long time to load a web page. I tried many virus scans but nothing comes up. I don't know what's wrong with my computer?

On most browsers there is a spot called Tools on the top toolbar. You click on that and there will be a list. One of them is : Disable Pop-ups. You could also download AdBlockPlus. Also download Malware bytes anti-malware free and run a scan with that. I don't think it's a virus. Try these two as they are free!

Something piggy backed onto something you downloaded. Common problem. stamplive will do that and take over things. Wish you would have said something about that. They usually show up in your browsers. Especially Chrome.

Malware bytes is excellent . . so isn't CCleaner

I've been there. Especially after I installed some third-party software and had them running in the system background, pop-ups ads and links everywhere. If your antivirus software can not detect any suspicious malware, you have to find it yourself. Open the Control Panel in your computer to search for those programs you have not used very often, uninstall them immediately. Then open your browser to delete those unknown extensions or add-ons which can also be the suspicious reasons that you receive nonstop pop-ups.

What content are the ads about? I mean, your computer may get adware, dubious registry keys changes or virus inside. I take Static.brit-method.com as an example (just want to make matters easier, if your computer is not infected with virus like this, you still can learn some knowledge about virus)
