How do i go about removing Adchoice popups?

[hazel ludlow]

hullo...

as of this morning, all of my browsers now have AdChoice pop ups, well, popping up. I have run Malware Anti/Adaware/JRT/MS Malicious, to no avail. Searching for help, i get nothing but upsellers and very vague YouTube videos on how to remove the virus. Any help with this would be great

bests

I read all the postings on here with much interest. Nevertheless, if the adverts that pop up on your internet explorer or google search engines say 'AdChoices', they are NOT removeable. This is because: 1) They are there due to your browsing history interests. If you look closely, you will notice that the adverts that pop-up have a very close relationship with what you have viwed in the past, whether it was clothing related, educationally inclined or apps that you view and all that sort. 2) They are controlled by Microsoft and the ONLY thing you can do is choose whether you want the adverts to be related to what you have viewed in the past (personalised), or random adverts that Microsoft can allow/choose to appear on your screen. Sometimes they pick up words from your email subject titles and sometimes direct from email content and it is no secret. Those that underline in green on all search engines ARE malware and they can be removed using several of the freely available anti-malware software. But be very careful not to download free software that will actually add onto the problems.

Another solution is to simply but COMPLETELY uninstall and re-install the browser afresh. When you re-install the browser, all the add-ons would not be there. Alternatively, you can reset the browser to its original state when you first had it. In the case of chrome, you go to the top right hand corner of the browser and left-click on the three horizontal bars. This will bring you to the choices where you can left-click SETTING. Right at the bottom of the settings page, left-click on ADVANCED SETTINGS. The advanced setting will allow you to view a full page of the settings. Right at the foot of the page, left-click on 'RESET SETTINGS'. After that, your browser is good to go with no add-ons.

Good luck with a ads free browser.

I just re-installed adbock plus, and it worked great. At least, in the last ten minutes. No more adchoices.

It takes you to it's dumb webpage where you get to read a long page of info.

OR YOU CAN JUST SCROLL DOWN UNTIL YOU SEE THE BIG RED BUTTON THAT ALLOWS YOU TO "OPT OUT"

CLICK THE OPT OUT BUTTON PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God Bless You, shot34ever

I also have these AdChoice ad's which infected my browser Firefox. I updated everything possible, installed several Malware Removal programs and they did not find any of these AdChoice.
After wasting a full day looking for an answer, it turns out that it was added by my Internet provider. Don't know if I am allowed to say their name, but by clicking on the AdChoice little arrow on the corner of the ad, it takes you to a page that lets you opt out of these ads. So, with all of the time that I have spent searching for a fix, turns out the answer was under my nose. Hope that this will help everyone with these pesky ad's. This page also told me that it does not have anything to do with my searching for a product online, this is bull also. Last Monday I searched for a new laptop for my daughter and shortly after, I had ads for laptops all over my providers homepage. WTS I plan to let my Internet provider know how I feel about this.

Install Ghostery. Clicking through some of the "advertising" options in Ghostery got rid of them for me.
