Annoying 'you Have Been Selected' Questionnaires

How do I stop these? one pops up every single time I press enter!

I am pretty sure you'll be advised to run the free version of Malwarebytes.
Is it just on AB or on any site?

[pips1]

mainly on here factor.

It is possible that a PUP (potentially unwanted programme) has got into your computer. Consequently it is worth downloading and giving a scan with the free edition of Malwarebytes. Do Not click the premium edition.

You might be surprised at the results which a scan produces.

Incidentally, what browser are you using ?

Thanks hans, I am using Google Chrome. Thanks too factor, I have downloaded it.

[HansUrbancka]

A scan might take a half an hour or so but will be well worth it.

Let us know how it goes. Some strange things happen with Google Chrome.

I have downloaded it but I can't seem to be able to run it, oh dear I am hopeless with computers, don't have a clue!

I've just clicked on my Malwarebytes and it's installed a new version and provided a prompt saying I've never run a scan (not true!), and Scan Now, which I will do. You used to get a choice of quick scan and deep scan; the latter took quite a while.

[pips1]

yes jno I have just done the same and it has run through now, thanks all.

I'm pleased you sorted it but I have to agree with Hans in that Google Chrome is a joke.

[pips1]

Well I always had trouble with Explorer, who do you recommend as a good browser then?

[chelle7272]

I use Firefox and have for years. tried Chrome but couldn't get on with it at all.

[factor-fiction]

I love Chrome!

[HansUrbancka]

Each to their own. I use Firefox as my default Browser but have Internet Explorer; SeaMonkey and Safari as 'back-ups'. I have got rid of everything which has a Google tag because you are continually tracked by the organisation and are subjected to targeted advertising, even if you take precautions to avoid pop-ups etc. My search Engine is Bing which I honestly think is better than Google.

@jno.....You are deemed Not to have run a scan until you do so with the new version of Malwarebytes.

@pips1....Did Malwarebytes find anything untoward.?

You can download Firefox from :-

Hans, yes Malwarebytes did, in fact there are pop ups coming up several times a day saying they have blocked unwanted data so thanks again.
