Remove super-promo.flob.info Pop-Up Ads

Having difficulties with pop-ups from super-promo.flob.info? If that is the case, you might have adware installed on your system. I got the super-promo.flob.info pop-ups in Firefox, but they can show up if you are using Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari or Opera too.

Here’s a screen capture of the super-promo.flob.info pop-up ad when it showed up on my system:

Does this sound like what you see your machine, you probably have some adware installed on your computer that pops up the super-promo.flob.info ads. Don’t send angry emails to the website you were browsing, the advertisements are apparently not coming from them, but from the adware on your computer. I’ll do my best to help you remove the super-promo.flob.info pop-up in this blog post.

I found the super-promo.flob.info pop-up on one of the lab machines 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 anything new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the browsers, injected ads on site that usually don’t show advertisements, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

super-promo.flob.info resolves to 108.61.241.156 and cwkzz.super-promo.flob.info to the 45.79.211.174 IP address.

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

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

Anyway, here’s my suggestion for the super-promo.flob.info 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 you have in your browsers. Anything in the list that you don’t remember installing?
  3. If that did 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 system. 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:
