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??Chat Icon \

Any ideas on how to get rid of these annoying pop ups

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.... Chat Icon Chat Icon )
