Pop up ads while visiting safe websites

I have recently been receiving a lot of advertising pop-ups when I visit a number of legitimate (i.e. not risky) websites. Before I get a chance to enjoy the website content popup ads take over the webpage, and additional tabs pop up as well. I often get
a pop up screen within the page I intended to visit saying 'Advertising In' (and with a countdown 4,3,2,1). I also get various ads saying I won something or that my computer is seriously infected and I should call the number on the screen.

I've tried Trend Micro's Housecall and McAfee scan. Both found that there was a trojan, and both programs said they effectively quarantined it.

McAfee recently quarantined an item '84869c24.dll' and the threat was Artemis! 8A203931C13C.

However, the uncontrollable pop up ads when I browse websites persists. I usually use Chrome but the problem is also apparent in Edge and Mozilla. I use Windows 10.

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide me.

You could try downloading MalwareBytes, Eset online scanner & Adwcleaner & also run your anti virus software to see if anything is found.
MBAM: https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbam_2x
Eset: Free Virus Scan | Online Virus Scan from ESET | ESET
Awcleaner: Downloads - AdwCleaner - ToolsLib

I've added version 2 of MBAM as it's still the most stable version - ver 3 has many problems.

 

Not at home just now. But I ran a smart scan of Avast and it found nothing. Also updated Opera to the latest version. But still the same. Had a look at extensions and they are all disabled. So I haven't a clue what it is. I will give them a go when I get home. Thanks for your help.

 

Make sure you check the scan for root kits under MBAM & Eset - under advanced for Eset iirc.

 

OK will do thank you.

Do you think Malwarebytes exaggerates to get you to buy the program? surely Windows defender and now Avast has not let this much get passed correct?

 

Imo no MalwareBytes will find the same problems as the paid for version, the only difference is the paid version has auto protection so will catch anything before it infects your pc, ver 3 has combined MBAM & MB anti exploit so once the bugs are ironed out it'll give even better protection but the free version is still a manual scanner. There's usually a chance to try the premium version for 30 days (I thing it's 30 days) before deciding whether to purchase, it gives you all the features so may be something to consider.
MBAM isn't one of those companies where it scans for free but you have to pay to then clean anything it finds.
It is possible as Win defender & avast while are anti virus they do not scan for potentially unwanted applications nor potentially unwanted programs, No anti virus is 100% effective & usually free ones have a lower detection rate than paid av software.

 

PUP's detection is disabled by default in Avast and WD.
