    Hello. I just bought a new Dell laptop. I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. Problem is, when I log onto the internet I keep getting annoying new windows open with advertising sites. These are a few of their addresses:

    <snip (ad pop up sites deleted)>

    I have Adblocker installed, but they're still opening.

    Help please!

    I've deleted the links you put in as the specific ones do not matter and we don't want people clicking on them. Are you having this issue on other browsers (ie. Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc)

    I'd go through your Installed software in your control panel and see if anything is showing up in there that doesn't belong. If there is, uninstall it. You should also check your Chrome Extentions and see if anything was installed there.

    One thing you can try right away is to download Malwarebytes, update it and run a scan.

    It sounds like you downloaded some malware. You may wind up having to go over to our Malware Forum and running through the Read and Run me First malware removal thread.
