Ah, found the rootkit setting in Malwarebytes, run the program once again and still reported clean. Weirdly, the rogue pop-up isn't popping-up! I wonder if it has gone although nothing has been reported.
I shall continue keeping an eye out for it!
Thanks to all.
Thanks - cleared Edge cache/cookies etc. I was going to run Defender again although it reportd clean originally. Noticed that Malwarebytes has now taken charge of the Defender tasks.
Meanwhile the pop-up continues!
EDITED TO SAY : Unable to ocate any settings to check rootkits in ADWCleaner.
John, downloaded Malwarebytes. Nothing to report other than the pop-up actually popped up during the scan!
Is the link correct in that there's just one program - Malwarebytes? Asking because I saw no mention of AdwCleaner 2023!
Thanks
Good evening
For the first time in perhaps 15 years, I find I have picked up a pop-up. No complaints from Defender so far.
This arrived on my system after I visited a friend's website.
Not being an expert though not too bad with computers despite my near 80 years of trips around the sun!
Would...
