Need computer help

[CHenry]

Recently I started getting popups. When I click new posts on OSA, often I get a popup on the right side of the screen or a new window opens. Its not just OSA, I can be on Amazon and each time I click to buy something, a new window opens. Same on my Gmail.
How do I stop this PITA?

Sounds like some type of malware. Me? I'd ry one of thsoe free malware removers such as Avst before I fork over a weeks allowance for some paid remover. If it's an Apple product, you can go to their forum and they'll give you suggestions on how to rid malware.

download this and just keep the free one. https://try.malwarebytes.com/get-premium/?C=5&msclkid=fee8d8bdfbeb1f937373beaebcd8f18f

It will give you a free 14 day trial to clean your PC up and then remove it. I pay for it but it will work either way

I like Avast free and Spybot S&D to keep mine clean and odor free.

Do you mean Avast? I already have Lifelock, doesnt that provide this kind of protection?

I downloaded it and did a scan. Will see what happens. Thanks

Does it only happen if you have the browser (Chrome, Edge, etc..) open?

Get the free version of AdGuard AdBlocker. I've used it for years, and it works great for blocking pop-ups and ads.
