Sounds like you may have some malware that needs removing. Give Malwarebytes a try: http://www.malwarebytes.org/lp/lp4/?gclid=CImK2qG0ib0CFcU-MgodMW8Alg

I would run some type of malware remover (http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html for example), and maybe a registry cleaner(http://download.cnet.com/Wise-Registry-Cleaner/3000-2086_4-10605508.html). Then make sure you have adblock installed. Just google "adblock for chrome" and it's the first link. You shouldn't have any issues with popups or redirects after that.

ok going to try that when i get back home, but 2 things 1st of all how did i get malware on my pc i mean its only a few monthes old and i dont remeber going on anything shady....and genrldisaray is the adblock the thing on chrome web store the app the thing u r talking about for ads? and also whats the adblock plus thing does it add anything more then just the adblock?

Ya just run adblock on whatever browser you use.

Tuvs :

Adblock plus will get rid of adds on additional things like annoying youtube commercials.
You can use both together on Chrome.

genrldisaray · Mar 10, 2014

Yeah, adblock on the chrome webstore is the one I meant. I prefer it to Adblock plus, but they both do basically the same thing. Also, malware can come from some pretty legitimate sources these days. When you're installing something, you really have to be careful about what it's doing, since a lot of programs will try to sneak third party applications onto your computer unless you tell it not to.
