futures Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Googled and came across this: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3036 Not sure if that's much help on how to stop the pop ups though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffbloom Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Try a different web browser to see if it's a browser issue or if it's a deeper issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashhax Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ry, If you are using Safari open Safari>Preferences>Security> Block-Pop Ups. That should disable it from showing up through an open port. You could also go into the Privacy tab and remove all data to release the cache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandbox-wars Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hit the 3 horizontal bars at the top right of chrome, choose history. Clear browsing data, make sure to select "delete cookies" and "empty your cache" from the time period of, preferably, forever. Reopen chrome and install Adblock Plus.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Pretty much what he said I think the Mackeeper ads are pop-ups, not malware, so it is the sites you are visiting, not your computer. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
