Hello:

I still using Win7 on which I feel very comfortable, rather Win10. 

Day and night, there are numerous ads. popping up at the right side of the screen.  .... sometimes **** which are very explicit and VERY gross to say the least. 

I installed 3 different ad-blockers for the past months, however there are still an annoying ads keeps popping up as though they attempted to hijack the PC.

Any help would be truly appreciated. 

Thanks,

    Did you try resetting your browsers?  

    Any recently added browser extensions or suspicious items in start-up that you need to remove or disable?

    Did you seek assistance from your antivirus provider (AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc)?

    Recommend you run Adwcleaner.  https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/

    If the issue remains see this free removal guide from Malwaretips.com:   https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-adware-popup-ads/  You may not need Hitman Pro (available as a 30 day trial if needed) but as mentioned above please note the recommendation to reset your browsers.

    Other free scanners (if needed) that may help with this issue are listed in List of Malware Removal Tools

    Thanks both for your helps on this issue.

    This morning, I went to look at 'extension,' and found there are several sites that I never bookmarked first of all.  I 'removed' those un-needed extensions and found there are NO LONGER gross and annoying ads popping up at the right side of the screen.  What a RELIEF!
