Trying to get rid a Genius Box pop up which isn't caught by Webroot scanning. I can usually get rid of it for a bit by pressing Alt, Fn, F4 together. I am using a Surface tablet.

Hello Lisahb,
 
Welcome to the Community Forum,
 
Genius Box is an adware program that displays offers, coupons and advertisements via a See Similar button or pop-ups on Ebay, Amazon, Walmart and other shopping websites that you are visiting.
 
Please go here https://community.webroot.com/t5/Techie-KB/How-to-Remove-Potentially-Unwanted-Applications/ta-p/4074... and if you cannot remove geniusbox/client.exe file. then you can issue a Support Ticket free of charge with a active subscription.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Kind Regards,
