I use Google Chrome & Avast internet security. I have a Dell, Windows 7 laptop that is just over a year old. The avast has been working quite well. However, over the past couple of days my internet browsing has been interrupted quite frequently by numerous types of pop up ads!! And then I noticed that my homepage was changed to Airzip.inspsearch.com which should be Google before. What is this? Is it a virus? How do I get rid of this redirect thing?
Airzip.inspsearch.com is classified as a browser hijacker that usually comes into a compromised computer after users download some video player, PDF creator or music. It enters computers bundled with such freeware and then adds its malicious contents to your browser without any permission. When it starts to attack your computer, it can cause an immense problem to the functioning of a computer system by altering the browser settings and changing browser settings without any consent. To more specific, it alters your homepage and default search engine to Airzip.inspsearch.com, making users to use it instead of their previous search provider. Also by forcing PC users to visit its page again and again, the website owner can achieve his final goal easily which is to create bigger traffic and get profit from that. This kind of threat is closely associated with the previous WebsSearches.com redirect, both of them have the same deceitful appearance.

Although nothing happens from now, but I really need to remove it to avoid further damage! Any help would be appreciating!!

I have been using the installation packages online to update my flash plug in. But when the update was finished, my antivirus alerts me that it added a Trojan file into my computer. I know that Trojan viruses are malicious, but should I remove the entire installation packages and the program? Where is Trojan.Agent/Gen-Poison that it added to? My antivirus doesn’t seem to work in removing it, how can I get rid of it?

I have a new Toshiba laptop that I’ve had for about 3 months now and I am starting to get a lot of pop ups on a daily basis. I have the pop up blockers in the web browser set to high to try to stop the majority of them but it hasn’t done any difference. My firewall is still on and I have antivirus program installed. However, over the past couple of days my internet browsing has been interrupted quite frequently by numerous types of pop up ads!! Most of time I get Jck.drivesection.net pop-up ads. How do I get rid of all these annoying popups from Google Chrome, Firefox as well as Internet Explorer?
If you keep getting Jck.drivesection.net pop-up ads while you are on Facebook or browsing any web pages, then your computer may get infected by an adware or a browser hijacker virus. This kind of threat mainly attacks target computer and annoys PC users by displaying advertising content on your computer. It often uses pop-up windows, adware programs and browser redirection to achieve its goal. Many of these ads popping up on your screen without your permission are designed to tout legitimate products. It may used to distribute malware and spyware as well. Just like this Jck.drivesection.net pop-up, it may give you false positive telling you that your video downloader might be outdated and then recommending you a new version to install. Once you did that, you will soon find out what you have downloaded on the computer is a big virus that completely messes up your computer, but not a useful program as it is recommended.
