Remove club777.com Pop-Up Ads Caused By Adware

Did you just get a popup from club777.com and wonder where it came from? Did the club777.com ad appear to have been popped up from a web site that under normal circumstances don’t use aggressive advertising such as pop-up windows? Or did the club777.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 a screenshot of the club777.com pop-up ad when it showed up on my computer:

Does this sound like what you see your machine, you presumably have some adware installed on your machine that pops up the club777.com ads. Contacting the owner of the web site would be a waste of time. They are not responsible for the ads. I’ll try help you with the club777.com removal in this blog post. This is done by removing the adware causing the pop-ups.

For those that are new to the blog: A little while back I dedicated a few of my lab computers and knowingly installed some adware programs on them. Since then I’ve been observing the behaviour on these systems to see what kinds of adverts that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the adware auto-updates, or if it downloads and installs additional unwanted software on the computers. I first noticed the club777.com pop-up on one of these lab machines.

So, how do you remove the club777.com pop-up ads? On the machine where I got the club777.com ads I had BlockAndSurf, TinyWallet and BrowserWarden installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the club777.com pop-ups and all the other ads I was getting in Mozilla Firefox.

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

Anyway, here’s my suggestion for the club777.com ads removal:

  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 that you have in your browser. Anything in the list that you don’t remember installing?
  3. If that didn’t solve the problem, I’d recommend a scan with FreeFixer to manually track down the adware. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I’m working on that scans your computer at lots of locations, such as browser add-ons, processes, Windows services, recently modified files, etc. If you want to get additional details about a file in the scan result, you can click the More Info link for that file and a web page will open up with a VirusTotal report which will be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:
