Problems with ads

[Chivpcgamer]

Hi guys, recently did a fair bit of downloading, n64 emulator, adobe photoshop, and a few games.

Ive now got these ads that pop up between web pages, theyre video ads, usually i phone 5 and literally stop the next webpage loading up. Ive disabled all the ad ons on ie9 but cant seem to stop these ads or find the file.

Funny thing is i unticked all the free stuff when i downloaded those programs. Any advice would be apreciated. Thanks,

Scan for malware and viruses. i would recommend avast home or malwarebytes.

Called adware. That's why you don't pirate stuff.

Use Google Chrome

Emulators are legal and so is downloading games like from steam : )

would 1000 $ adobe programs download and have adware on it?

Use Google Chrome

Will this stop the ads popping up do u think?

It could, if they keep popping up you can get AdBlock

No not at all, im pretty sure its the emulator

he did not pirate. he said he downloaded photoshop (downloading photoshop is LEGAL (EXAMPLE)

And he may downloaded games off steam. also emulators on their own ale legal. scan for malware and viruses. i would recommend avast home or malwarebytes.

he doesnt know where did adware come from

[Chivpcgamer]

Well saying that it was free off adobe and did actually have free stuff that i unticked, also it started after i downloaded from adobe

im a bit sceptical about this one though. but i think a run with avast should fix the problems

[1911]

just download avast home for free and scan your system

why are you so suspicious. claim down. eaven if he did pirate it does not make diffrence to the solution of getting rid of the ads

Downloading emulators is legal, but downloading ROMs is not. As for the actual question though, definitely give Google Chrome a try, in any case it will vastly improve your browsing experience.

I do have avast, i'll run a scan but i dont think its a virus im sure its adware attached to either the free adobe file or the emulator

if adware is not clever enough, it will not affect the newly installed browser (like chrome in your case) . give avast a go because if its adware avast should detect it
