Pop up

Mike, I've been using Chrome now for I think about 7 or 8 years on three different computers and never had a problem with it until now. I had switched up from Firefox at the time.
I tried to get used to Edge but change is not easy now at my age plus I have negative opinions on Microsoft anyway.
I just went on Edge earlier today but all I can find is settings to remove cookies at the end of session I think it was, not to block them period from ever being set, like I can with Chrome.
I did try the things Charles mentioned but no change.
I'm not skilled enough to try what Gregg mentioned.
Cost to LOOK at the computer starts at $80 and when on limited income it's the last thing you want to do.

Ryan, I don't know what chrome extensions are, or anything about this add blocker plus you mentioned. Most things are not easy for me on a computer unfortunately.

Another weird thing is that my tablet doesn't have this problem and it has exactly the same things on it with the same version of windows 10. I only use it for message boards when I'm away from home though as it's too hard for me to type on.

Ray, do you have any family or friends/younger peeps around you that could be recruited ?
It's not so difficult to start blocking certain aspects of your surfing experience, you just need some younger 'nerds' to help do it for you

Unfortunately no, all my kids but one ended up long distances away other than one daughter here and she and hubby don't have the skills but I've already tapped the 19yr old grandson for all he knows but his skills are mostly gaming skills not diagnostic. He asked a buddy for help but buddy said he can't do anything Norton couldn't do when they took control of the computer and checked it out, not finding anything.
What I HAVE done now is searched the Adblock plus and got a download so now to see if it works over the next few days. Hopefully I got the right one as many came up in the search.

I am willing to do some phone support for free, and depending on your comfort level, remote diagnostics and troubleshooting.

PM me if you are interested.

Thank you for the offer. However, I'm first going to wait a few days to see if this adblock thing does anything to help.
As for comfort zone, it was more than two weeks before I let Norton take over the computer. It is probably a generation issue where trust in anyone based on my life experiences has become nil.

Just an update now. It has been six days since I started using adblock and I've not had a re-occurrence of the pop up since. Hopefully that will continue.
Thanks all for the input.
