Random Pop-up question.
« on: October 05, 2012, 05:55:43 AM »
Hey guys I use the free version of Avast. I recently went on piratebay (did not dl anything illegal was just checking out some stuff) and then I randomly got a pop-up to 888 poker site. I clicked the X. Then I finally wondered... WHAT IF THAT WAS A VIRUS. So I searched 888 poker site on google and the avast web rep thing said that it had a really bad rating from alot of people. I scanned with avast and malwarebytes and I came clean. But I'm still wondering if pop-ups can give you viruses and I'm very paranoid right now... :(

just surfing a infected website can give you virus....

you may have some browser/toolbar crap......so run this program

AdwCleaner....click searc, when the log pops up close it and click delete, it will then restart your machine
