I have a lenovo ideapad with windows 8.
The past couple of days I noticed my laptop was much slower than usual when loading videos or webpages so I decided to restart it. Bad idea.
When I opened up a webpage after the restart I started getting bad pop ups. Mostly ads for adblockrs and anitviruses (how ironic) that will open up in a new window when I click certain buttons or try to click off whatever page I may be on at the time.
When I go to different online stores I get a ton of ads and widgets that pop up and will block the shopping page.
I have avg but it doesn t seem to be working on this. I also tried a system restore 3 different times (each earlier than the last) but it hasn t worked. It just started doing this today so I want to get rid of it as soon as possible.
I don t have money to purchase any software right now so I would prefer a free service or instructions on how to fix this myself.
I really appreciate input! Thanks guys!
UPDATE:
I installed an antivirus and it found a lot of bugs which I quickly removed but I'm still getting pop ups like crazy. Anytime I'm in a browser I'm get pop ups from just clicking on a web page.
My computer won't do a system restore. I ran an ad blocker and it's blocking some of the ads.
It's getting worse. Help please!
