Do they happen in the browser or in the computer generally? Any idea, what brought them along?

What browser you using?

Post by: Spike. on March 15, 2015, 04:53:15 pm: Google Chrome

Post by: Janar on March 15, 2015, 06:25:00 pm: Check for any malicious addons in the browser (under Settings), if yes, remove them. Not sure? Ask here.

Post by: Martijn on March 19, 2015, 06:48:42 pm: If I had this problem I would backup my important files such as photo's, video's and college files.
Then, re-installing the system, installing a proper virus scanner and so on before using the system as before.

Unfortunately this kind of software is hard to remove. I had this multiple times at customer's cmomputers, and simply couldn't remove it since it was everywhere in the system.
As I said, I recommend you to reinstall, backup important files, and install a proper virusscanner before using the system.
