    In Addition to @floond post,
    4. STAY logged in. If you delete or don't accept cookies with your browser, popups and ads will appear again.

    ... And these are real bad popups. I remember one makes me need to end Firefox with Taskmanager to get rid of the window. A second one was a XXX hardcore ad. My wife wasn't impressed :unsure:
    So it pays to accept those 2 cookies :)

    downt use ABP, use Nano Adblocker or ublock Origin, ABP is known to be not effective and cpu hungry.

    Everything's fine here with NoScript and uBlock Origin - without logging in.

    can you take a screenshot of the popup? If it's down on the right corner of Windows it's not a popup but some kind of malware in your browser. I had some kind of bitcoin add that popped up down in the right corner of Windows that took some work to get rid of. I got that when I was a little carefree and clicked the wrong spot in one of the download sites

    Use ublock origin instead of adblock plus. Sign in to audioz, audiosex and peeplink. Stay happy. :thumbsup:

    Any advantages of it over ublock? I haven't tried it yet.

    I'm using Popup Blocker Ultimate, UBlock Origin & some custom made scripts to block extra ads & other things I don't want to see.

    First I had to clean everything in Chrome, browser history and stuff like that, remove all extensions. Then uninstall chrome, also manually remove Chrome folder if still there. Then I run Malwarebytes AdwCleaner:
    https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/
    Then I turned off some browser add settings in windows (don't remember exactly), I also cleaned the all the browser cache I think from Command prompt (since you cannot do that because of admin rights you just have to try without).
    Then I reinstalled chrome
