Pop up ads returned with a vengence.

When I had pop up problems in the past, I downloaded the SUPERAntiSpyware free edition. It seemed to work great.

For a long while I thought pop up ads were a thing of the past.

Then, suddenly, I was reinfected with the Ads By SupraSavings.

The Super anti spyware will not remove this.

Easy suggestions? I'm helpless with computers.

I swear by Ad Block Plus.
It is so good at blocking any pop ups and any ads
that I do have to click "allow on this page" for videos if I want to watch them.
speeds up page loading too.
Free app..but I do often send a few bucks to developers of good stuff.
