    Pop-ups Suspect to be Malware


    A short while ago, I was downloading editing software.

    At the same time, a company named topflownews started frequently sliding into view on the bottom right of my screen, claiming some affiliation with microsoft edge.

    The news content is click bait about celebrity downfalls, flabby **** anglosaxon girls wanting to talk to me, and boring 'games'.

    I never knowingly consented to these constant intrusions.

    I am worried that this may be malware.

    I have constantly used windows security to try to protect my device.




    I have no tech experience, I want to delete these harassing pop ups - how do I do this?​


    [Original Title: pop ups]​

    Pop up malware

    Have you sought assistance from your antimalware provider (Avast, AVG, Avira, McAfee, Norton, etc)?



    For issues with popups while using Edge see the responses of GreginMich dated
    March 7 and March 9, 2016: System error.



    If your issue continues see this free multi-step removal guide from Malwaretips.com: Remove Adware, Pop-ups & Malware from Chrome, Firefox and Edge

    You may not need to scan with Hitman Pro (available in trial version if you do need to use it). If scanning with AdwCleaner (step 1), JRT (step 2) and Malwarebytes Free (step 3) does not resolve your issue, you may
    need to reset your browsers as suggested in step 5.



    Alternatively recommend scanning with the Emsisoft Emergency Kit: Как обнаружить и удалить угрозы с помощью Emsisoft Emergency Kit | Emsisoft | Security Blog



    Good luck…

    Pop-ups Suspect to be Malware

    Malware pop up.

    Constantly I get this pop up that says "Malware defender taking action to clean up" then says that it's all set right afterwards, even when I'm not doing anything. Is there a way to stop that stupid pop up. I mean I'd like a virus protector or whatever
    the heck it is but not the pop up that is very annoying.

    I am also very new at this computer stuff so I'm sure there is a very simple answer to this question that boggles me.

    Thank you for your time
