Title: BROWSER GUARDIAN What is this keeps popping up everywhere
Post by: Happyonesd on June 17, 2014, 06:57:52 pm: :P
This advertisement pop-up with the heading of "Browser Guardian" keeps popping up wherever I am on FC. Is this something new that FC has implemented on their site? It is very irritating to say the very least!!

You might have some malware on your system. Do a scan using Malwarebytes. It's a free download from www.malwarebytes.org.

Thanks for your help, I was having some other serious problems like my computer started freezing up, the video started saying there was a problem but it recovered. I ended up doing a restore on my laptop re-installing windows and my antivirus software and everything seems to be running more smoothly now.

What is a threat scanner? I only have the antivirus that *bleep* internet provides to their customers.
