Ok, so ever since yesterday I've been having these pop up problems. I'll get random pop-ups from internet explorer, but the strange thing is that I'm using firefox. Every once in a while, I'll get them in firefox too. They just come up randomly. Please help. D:

The first thing to do is assume it's Adware, so scan your computer with something like Avast! or AVG or something of the like.

If neither find anything, I dunno D:

Hi. <3 This is really annoying.  :( I already did a scan yesterday, I did find some adware, I took care of it, but it still happens.

Shit, I just tried using Opera, and no pop ups come up on it. BUT, firefox and IE randomly open and start getting a whole bunch of pop ups! D:<

I also noticed that a lot of the time, the pop ups are related to what page I'm on, or what I'm typing. D:

Ok, I think I may have fixed it. I uninstalled this Advertisement Service program. So far I have not gotten any more pop ups.

UGH. It just happened again.  :( This is really pissing me off.

don't install teatimer when it asks you to. when it's done installing, search for updates.
immunize by clicking immunize on the left.
then click search & destroy>check for problems.

No Spybot, go get Ad Aware's free version, and look on Hijack this! if that doesn't solve it.

Edit, well I guess try both. G'luck.
