Pop Up Ads and Status Bar Messages – October 2015

If you have been following me on the blog for the last six months you know that I often write about how to remove pop up ads and how to remove unwanted sites showing up in the browser’s status bar. In those blog posts, I show how to track down and remove unwanted software by using the 1) Windows Control Panel, 2) the browser’s add-on dialog or 3) with the FreeFixer removal tool.

I often write a new blog post for each site that I find, which is quite time-consuming. The upcoming months I’ll be focusing on developing some back-end stuff for FreeFixer so I can’t be as active as I use to be on the blog. But I will at least summarise the finds that I do, with a screenshot, and post them here.
