annoying ads on every page

[Airsergey]

got ads pop-ups on every web page at the bottom of the screen left, right and in the middle of the page. Pls help remove them. 

Secondly after VIAO update it has become slower, pages are displayed incorrectly (not filled in), and need to be refreshed.

tks for your advise

My advice would be us Firefox as your default browser (I NEVER get popups with Firefox), Also once installed you can add more prevention via one of the FREE addons... I have always used AdBlock Plus without any problem.

Malwarebytes to remove offending browser hyjackers/Malware

CCleaner to clean out your system regestry. (keep running it till it finds nothing, then run every day)

If you really want to go the whole hog you could run Spybot

On top of that, watch what you intall; if you are one of those nuts that insists on trying 'FREE' programs. They usually come bundled with sponser's crapware. It is easy to avoid, just read every page of the installs to make sure that when you press the 'next' button you are not authorising anything else to install.. e.g. search toolbars.

That coming from a man that has possibly experienced every malware released over the previous 10 years is sound advice:smileywink:
