Porn pop-up

[From Gradel to Grave]

I have had an annoying pop up at work. [Insert pop up gag here :icon_razz ] This has never happened before. What I think has happened is that I clicked on a dodgy email as I go through emails to unsubscribe from spam and unwanted email.

I use and update Avast, Spybot, Malwarebytes and CCleaner without any problems normally.

I remembered using Super Anti Spyware but it hasn't removed it. I looked online and downloaded and ran Junkware Removal Tool and Adware Cleaner still without any joy. :icon_sad:

Any help would be enormously appreciated!

When does the popup happen? What happens when it happens.
Happen the word 'happen' happens to lose all meaning when it keeps happening

:icon_razz It's when I click my mouse on any internet page. It's normally a small pink/red box with that was obviously porn related (I can't remember the site name as I didn't look closely just closed it and ran scans again. Yesterday a page of porn pics popped up.

Which browser are you using? If it's IE, do you know which version?

I go through emails to unsubscribe from spam

You should never unsubscribe from spam. The spammers will then know they're reaching a real person who reads their spam, so they'll send you even more.

I'm using Chrome.

:icon_redf That's what I try to do. I think I must have clicked on one by mistake.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Being a layman I think I'll leave it.

I'm using Chrome.

It'd be worth reinstalling it and maybe check if there's any extensions that are after being added

I can remove and reinstall Chrome. What do I need to look out for and how should I look for them?

I brought my lap top into the charity where I work yesterday and when I went onto my work broadband connection the same pop up happened. :icon_sad:

Is it possible that this is extraordinary bad luck or can it be on the router? :icon_conf Makes no sense to me but it happened!
