Did you suddenly start to get pop-up ads loaded from a.sendads.net? Even from web sites that normally does not have any ads? If so, you might have some adware installed on your machine. I though I should write a short post about it since pop-ups are usually the first sign of some unwanted software running on a users’ computers. Hopefully I can also help you with the removal.

In my case, I got lots of pop-ups loading from a.sendads.net, which then redirected to some other site. If I remember it correctly, it showed some type of casino ad. The ads appeared while I was using Mozilla Firefox, but they can probably also appear if you are browsing the web with Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The built-in pop-up blockers did not stop the ads.

The sendads.net site seems to be serving quite a lot of ads. Just check out the traffic ranking from Alexa:

Based on the graph, it appears that traffic has increased from August until now. sendads.net is now ranked at place 1999 in the States.

So, how about the a.sendads.net removal? I removed the a.sendads.net pop-ups by inspecting my machine with the FreeFixer removal tool and removed the adware that was installed on my machine. The adware were Salus and TinyWallet. I’m not sure which one of them that launched the pop-ups. However, please keep in mind that there are a bunch of variants of adware out there. Some of them are probably also popping up ads from sendads.net.

Did you have to remove some additional software to get rid of the pop-ups? Please share with the other readers of this blog by posting a comment.

Thanks for reading! Hope this helped you fix the a.sendads.net pop-up problem.
