ridiculous amount of ads banners and pop ups..help

You might want to download MalwareBytes and let it do its thing for awhile. I can tell you that no flood of ads is coming from here. Believe it or don't. Hernandos is run ad free. The great folks at Reality Remix insured that happened with a little seed money at the start. (Thanks Guys!!)

Maybe take a screen shot? Seriously tho...I can't see how it could be coming from here. I just shut down my different things to go 'naked' and I just see a link at the bottom about 'how to turn off ads'..but no ad around it. A couple folks here will be pissed with good reason, if that ever changes and ads come back somehow.

malwaye bytes ran for a while and found like 60 things but it is still happening.

now what

i grabbed 2 screens

so what do i do?
malware bytes didnt fix it.

i had linux before and it never happened.
i dont even remember how i installed it on my other box.

should i do it again?
restore my pc to an earler time?/ would that fix it?

I may be off by the time you get back from the Safe Mode scan. If that fails, don't randomly bounce all over the net trying different stuff. You could spend the whole night doing that and still be nowhere new by morning...or so I've heard..err..heh. 

BleepingComputer 

That is one of the better places across the net for accurate information and effective and clean solutions. When the going is 'awww..screw it!'? It's time to visit them, IMO.

If you don't already have these...that link goes to a specific page in their download directory. THAT page, you want to download Autoruns (remember to run it as an administrator) and if you haven't used it before, hang on....It's the Microsoft windows utility they never put into it and part of the 'Internals Suite' you can also get from Microsoft for free.

Next page you want MalwareByes Anti-Exploit. Page 4, you want Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit. The three together (with your normal MB scanner being 1) should whammy it good.

If Malwarebytes line of fixers still got bested? There is another choice..but back up what you consider critical. This is like using undiluted bleach on a floor spill. It fixes everything (just about) but wow...it'll clear your sinuses and knock ya back if you aren't careful. 


ComboFix 

If you are anywhere near talking other operating systems tho? By all means, put Combofix through the system before throwing it all to start over. That has saved more than one machine thought lost. 

i just restored windows.
malwarebytes took longer than restoring and it didnt do shit.
im good now
something got me

i think i must have picked something up through a torrent that didnt 'install' until i restarted my computer.
everything was fine and then once i did that i was hammered. if i opened a tab or went to a new page i would get 3-4 separate windows that popped up plush flashing and side scrolling ads.

I'm not seeing any ads at all. Maybe someone can tell you what do.
