Does that pop-up show up when you have Firefox/IE (or other Web browser) running? You might just need to install a pop-up blocker (or enable it in Firefox). Otherwise, you’ve probably got malware on your system.

Likely a Zlob Trojan infection. Read here for instructions:

malwarebytes worked for me

Don’t click that link, it infects your computer. My Norton AV was useless.

Also, you might find SpyBot Search & Destroy useful.

Free Avast works too.

Sounds like you already have something on there.

I have always run AVG, and use Spybot and Windows Defender, but thay didn’t catch this one.

Malwarebytes is the only thing that put a stop to it.

Why will getting a Mac fix it? I’d prefer not to have a 40 year old OS.

My suggestion is to get a new computer,change all of the wiring in your house and start drinking heavily.
