How do I get rid of excessive pop up ads? When on the internet they always pop up. I think I have a virus.

You probably have some kind of adware installed, assuming that your Mac is not actually running OS 9 or earlier (systems that date back to the 90s). I'm assuming that the forum choice was an error, as I doubt such an old system would even be capable of properly displaying modern websites. What version of Mac OS are you actually running? (Go to the Apple menu and choose About This Mac.)
Assuming you're actually running some version of Mac OS X, see my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing the adware.

If it's asking for the original owner's credentials, you cannot "get rid" of it.

I no longer have access to the email address used as my Apple ID and when I choose to answer security questions, my DOB had to have been originally entered incorrectly because it keeps failing. How do I get rid of my old Apple ID and create a new one?

Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Where exactly did you get this phone?
Do you have a SIM in the phone?
There are 2 primary causes for this.
Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is REQUIRED to activate it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Have you turned the computer off and then back on (force quit if necessary by holding the power button)?
Try resetting the SMC:

Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

How can I get rid of excessive commercial ads and other pop-ups?

Quite recently I have been facing severe pop up annoyances on all my web-search browsers (including Google Chrome and Safari). It has come to the point that I rather surf on my little iPhone 5s than on my Apple MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display (Year 2013) Every second mouse click opens up a random tab with advertising/commercial and the usual stuff. Adding to that annoying in-site popups appear on most of the sites all the time. Even when i click the closing cross or the buttton "close this ad" it will just re-appear the next time the page reloads (latest at my next click). It made it so annoying to use my Laptop that I try to avoid working with it in the Internet. Especially with Uni restarting I would appreciate any Help or advice.
Kind Regards,
Lion

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
If you find files with names that fit the above description, post what you have for "something."
