Anyone recommend a free anti virus software ? I'm with malware bytes but it's just expired and i'm no paying to renew..I'm getting zillions of pop ups and it's very very frustrating.

Ta :aok:

I used to use Microsoft essentials which worked pretty well and was free.

Uninstall your current version of malware bytes and download the free version and run it again.
You obviously have malware that needs removed .
After you have done that download AVG free version and make sure when installing these that you untick any free toolbars etc. then run it.
You really should have an antivirus Andy. You can't just use malware bytes on it own.

FFS man , how long you had a computer ?
You would be better with an abacus :greengrin:

I had malware bytes and bit defender and thought that was enough ? I now have the AVG thingy but its only free for 30 days

That's because you have installed the full licence version or started a trail version.
Free version is free.
You really need to look at what you are installing when it's installing.
I have a feeling you just click , yes , next , yes , next , yes :greengrin:

I meant to add that its just an add blocker, you'll still need virus protection.
