Did you just get a pop-up from super-promo.dohs.info and wonder where it came from? Did the super-promo.dohs.info 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 super-promo.dohs.info pop-up show up while you clicked a link on one of the major search engines, such as Google, Bing or Yahoo?

Here’s a screenshot of the super-promo.dohs.info pop-up ad when it showed up on my computer:

If this sounds like what you are seeing on your computer, you most likely have some adware installed on your machine that pops up the super-promo.dohs.info ads. Contacting the site owner would be a waste of time. The ads are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you with the super-promo.dohs.info removal in this blog post.

I found the super-promo.dohs.info pop-up on one of the lab systems where I have some adware running. I’ve talked about this in some of the previous blog posts. The adware was installed on purpose, and from time to time I check if something new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the browsers, injected ads on website that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

So, how do you remove the super-promo.dohs.info pop-up ads? On the machine where I got the super-promo.dohs.info ads I had istartsurf, MedPlayerNewVersion and Movie Wizard installed.

The issue with pop-ups such as this one is that it can be launched by many variants of adware. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the pop-ups.

To remove the super-promo.dohs.info pop-up ads you need to review your computer for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

1. What software do you have installed if you look in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel? Something that you don’t remember installing yourself 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 does not 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 computer 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:
