    I'm using Chrome, and Windows 10. If you're using something else, Google "get rid of redirects in ____" with the blank being the name of your browser. There may be different directions for different browsers. That's how I found out how to get rid of them in my system.

    Threatening to become a non-contributor before you have any idea what’s going on is a little rash don’t you you think?

    After I clear them, they have not reappeared. I must have picked something up on a site I visited. No, it was not porn

    Considering past problems, it is very possible a website planted something.
    Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night

    Agreed. I’m guessing web browsing habits need to be adjusted at the least. My Dad has similar problems, I found out he was falling for the “click bate” at the bottom of some webpages. And, more importantly, you might need to have a deep scan of your computer done to figure out what virus/malware/Trojan you may have, even if you can’t see it anymore. You seem to be constant having issues via computer or phone, and I’d bet your personal information has been compromised.

    No popups here either. You just need to find a computer savvy person to help you or buy a Mac.
