Did you just get a pop-up from expressen.se-nyheter24.com and ask yourself where it came from? Did the expressen.se-nyheter24.com ad appear to have been initiated from a web site that under normal circumstances don’t use advertising such as pop-up windows? Or did the expressen.se-nyheter24.com pop-up show up while you clicked a link on one of the major search engines, such as Google, Bing or Yahoo?

Here’s how the expressen.se-nyheter24.com pop-up looked like when I got it on my machine:

If this sounds like what you are seeing on your machine, you presumably have some adware installed on your system that pops up the expressen.se-nyheter24.com ads. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the website you were browsing. The ads are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you with the expressen.se-nyheter24.com removal in this blog post.

If you have been reading this blog already know this, but if you are new: Some time ago I dedicated some of my lab systems and intentionally installed a few adware programs on them. Since then I’ve been observing the behaviour on these computers to see what kinds of advertisements that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the adware updates itself automatically, or if it downloads and installs additional unwanted software on the computers. I first observed the expressen.se-nyheter24.com pop-up on one of these lab systems.

expressen.se-nyheter24.com was registered on 2015-07-16. expressen.se-nyheter24.com resolves to the 82.221.130.114 address.

So, how do you remove the expressen.se-nyheter24.com pop-up ads? On the machine where I got the expressen.se-nyheter24.com ads I had istartsurf, MedPlayerNewVersion and Movie Wizard installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the expressen.se-nyheter24.com pop-ups and all the other ads I was getting in Mozilla Firefox.

The issue with this type of pop-up is that it can be popped up by many variants of adware, not just the adware on my machine. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the pop-ups.

So, what should done to solve the problem? To remove the expressen.se-nyheter24.com pop-up ads you need to examine your system for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

1. Examine what programs you have installed in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel. Do you see anything that you don’t remember installing or that was recently installed?
2. How about your add-ons you have in your browsers. Anything in the list that you don’t remember installing?
3. If that didn’t help, you can give FreeFixer a try. FreeFixer is built to assist users when manually tracking down adware and other types of unwanted software. It is a freeware utility that I’ve been working since 2006 and it scans your system at lots of locations where unwanted software is known to hook into your machine. If you would like to get additional details about a file in FreeFixer’s scan result, you can just click the More Info link for that file and a web page with a VirusTotal report will open up, which can be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:
