I think my other laptop is infected
All these spyware pop ups keep popping up on my screen even after I ran my virus protection screens. Wonder if my 15 yo was tring to access a porn site and caught a virus?? \
Any ideas on how to get rid of these annoying pop ups

This is what DH and I use Ad-Aware by Lavasoft, it's FREE. We try to run it once a month.

I use that one, as well as SpyBot
Pop-ups/adware/spyware aren't viruses, so most virus checkers and blockers won't stop them. You need an adware blocker, like these tools.
You can get these things even from PG-13 sites. (Not saying DS is innocent, just saying it doesn't mean he's guilty.... )
