Hello;

I seem to have caught something. Every couple of days I get hi-jacked by a series of pop ups, M.S. Edge redirects to other sites etc. I have scanned multiple times with Webroot, adwcleaner, Maywarebytes and a third. Everytime the scans come back negative.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hello @geocade have you tried to install a good ad blocker like uBlock Origin?
