When i open game client to update, ADs keep popin up on my browzer, like every 3 seconds and non stop. How can i end it? Already closed like 30 or more and just don't stop, it stops only when i close the client.

Help?

Thx!

    What?

    I play all kinds of games that open clients for updating, it never happened in none of them, to this date i have only bought gold for a game called Silkroad Online and it was like last year and i have not downloaded nothing from it, and i have scanned with a ****load of anti-*everything* since that time, i am reasonable sure it is directly game related.

    Edit: I will scan again to be sure, but if anyone else got ideas i am listening.

    U get ads pop up when ur pc gets a trojan, that happens when u visit a bad site, and since u said it only happens with nwn client u visited a site that infected the nwn launcher.
    For ideas, do u have installed on ur browser some kind of add blocker, i use mozilla and i use adblocker wich block most ad bs, and i also use the do not track me app, and last but not least i have the flash block add, beuca se i dont like when videos autoplay on the internet.

    Perhaps start with this: http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx

    Maybe a browser hi-jack or other malware infection?

    The NW client is just a symptom. If the client was bad from Cryptic's side, I and many others would be experiencing similar problems.
