I don%26#039;t know why but I want it to stop! lol sometimes it does it on its own (as in it just pops up out of no-were) Or sometimes I could be on a website and it will automaticaly change to another one out of no-where (eg. car insurance sites) :S anyone know how to stop it??|||Of course we do :D
You obviously have adware. Adware stands for ADvertising supported softWARE and its responsible for annoying pop-ups and website redirection to suspicious / dangerous / porn websites. Entire review of it, is here : http://www.ecuhq.com/internet-theory-f18…
Tools that remove it ( for free, no trials ) :
♣ Malwarebytes AntiMalware
♣ SUPERAntiSpyware
♣ Spyware Terminator
♣ Ad-Aware SE
♣ Spybot Search %26amp; Destroy
♣ HijackThis
I`d give special attention to the first 3 programs listed.
How to set/configure SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.ecuhq.com/tested-programs-how…
HijackThis is able to remove malicious registry entries. Pretty useful for final cleaning.
How to use HijackThis : http://www.ecuhq.com/tested-programs-how…

You could also try going back in time, using System Restore : http://www.ecuhq.com/tricks-f6/create-a-…
If this has been happening for some time now, dont bother going back, but simply destroy all restore points, since virus may be backed up inside.
1. Click Start / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore
2. Look on the left and click on : %26quot;System Restore Settings%26quot;
3. Check a box, at : %26quot;Turn off System Restore on all drives%26quot;
4. Click Apply / Yes / Ok
5. Click Start / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore
6. Click Yes
7. Uncheck that box
8. Apply / Ok
Hope it helped.

Press WINDOWSKEY + R, and run msconfig, go to the startup tab and remove any programs you don%26#039;t use or see as suspicious.
Then download spybot S%26amp;D and run a full scan/immunization, it should remove all of it.|||You have malware on your computer. I had a similar one on my laptop that would create full-screen popups non-stop. The best way to fix this is to download Malwarebytes at http://malwarebytes.org/
Also run Spybot: Search %26amp; Destroy and Ad-Aware Personal.
These should clear up your problems.
FYI: A temporary system restore usually doesn%26#039;t fix these types of malware.. I%26#039;ve tried it before on dozens of PCs.|||download AVG Free and run a scan
