How do I get rid of survey popups

I am using windows 7. For the last few weeks, almost every time I click on a website I get a survey popup. I've tried all the normal ways to get rid of them, but still they popup. I've downloaded Spybot and Malwarebytes, and still no good. How can I stop them?

Because you are answering a question with another question. As most know, you are just fishing for an endless supply of things that the original writer probably doesn't know anyway. You are not being helpful, you are just stringing out the conversation. Want to know how irritating this can be? Just watch politicians doing EXACTLY that when asked a question on television! The endless NOT answering makes for time wasting. You don't know, so stop pretending. There is a commonality about this particular irritant which allows it to pick up the name from any site visited and insert it into it's psuedo 'Survey'. I don't have the answer any more than you do, but i'm not pretending that I have any solution - I don't.. Neither do you.

In that case, you have the Downlite (aka VSearch, aka DynamicPricer) adware installed at a minimum. See:

How do I get rid of annoying popups

My husband uses the IPad to read and play card games. How do we get rid of those annoying pop up ads while he's playing cards. Specifically Hearts and Solitaire. Pop ups will appear when dealing another hand. Sometimes the entire screen goes black except for one tiny little x that we have to click numerous times before the fame comes back. he really gets frustrated and i cant help him. Any suggestions?

I don't play hearts, but I do play Solebon Solitaire. I play the iPhone version on my iPad, but I see that they have a pro version for the iPad.
http://www.solebon.com/
probably didn't buy it cause I already had one. Anyway, lots of games, actually programmed so that you can win every once in a while. I really like it.
For Hearts, I'd look at reviews and ratings. That often gives you an indication if the app is any good or not.

How do I get rid of annoying popups even after the proper settings have been checked?

Popup blocker is on but I still get annoying popups. When I use Google Chrome I do not get any popups. I tried for hours to get rid of these and also have asked questions with no answers.....I guess if you people cant help I'll have to resort to making GOOGLE CHROME my default browser....thats how bad the popups are!

How do i get rid of warning popups from FF like FF won't allow this page to open?

Simply put every time I try to open a page Firefox always pops up a warning box that says do I want to allow FF to open this page or some other such nonsensical idiocy! If I didn't want to open the blasted page would I have entered it in the first bloody place? I have my pop ups enabled for all pop ups already and that does not work either. What I want is this- NO WARNINGS FROM FF ABOUT ANYTHING AT ALL!!- How do I accomplish this major miracle? I run Firefox 3.6.16 because FF4 crashes more than 16 does. 16 works like crap too and won't allow imports from IE or Opera, Chrome or Orca or even Cometbird. I cannot file for my unemployment comp unless I can get rid of this pop up and fast! Can anyone help me? Please? Thanks I hope- JKMc/keimanzero

That seems to work for when I run the page through the iSupplier portal. However I noticed during development when I am testing the page on my computer, I am still getting this message? Is there anyway to get rid of it on the client side? I assume that profile is set correctly on the development instance which you are using from JDEV.
Sometimes you need apache bounce to make sure the profile option change come into effect.
So do a apache bounce.

How do I get rid of keychain popups? I never set a keychain password.

Keychain popups happen CONSTANTLY since I got back from the Apple store when a manufacturer error required a hard drive replacement. I can't sign in to iMessage - although my password works to log me in to the computer, I get a keychain message immediately when trying to log in to iMessage. I get keychain messages almost continually through the day - 50x/day approximately. They vary in what they say.
One of the many says "A keychain cannot be found to store registration v1". There are several other messages which I can't remember. I have tried a few of the ways recommended here. Oops, another one just popped up.
Here is the sequence: "A keychain cannot be found to store KADiAdIDStorageKey."
When I click "Reset to Defaults", it asks if I'm sure about that.
I hit "Reset" get another popup:
"Please enter your login password. This will be used to create your new keychain."
I enter my Apple ID password and hit OK.
Now a new popup appears: "iTunes wants to use the "local items" keychain". Enter password.
I enter my Apple ID password and it wiggles (wrong password).
I have to hit cancel to make it go away.
It pops up, or "Mail wants to use the "local oems" keychain" pops up. I have to continually hit "cancel" all day long to stop these things.
PLEASE HELP ME!!! I never set up a keychain password, don't know what it is, don't want it, don't need added security, never had this problem for the first year that I owned this thing.
Thank you.

It doesn't want your Apple ID password. It wants your computer's admin account password that you use to log into the computer.
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

How do I get rid of annoying popups in Safari?

All of the sudden I started getting annoying popups in Safari. When I close them, they reopen a short time later. I have popups blocked in my preferences. Please help. It's driving me crazy.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

How do i get rid of mackeeper popup ads and related websites

I keep getting a mackeeper ad pop up when I go to webpages. I also get websites coming up that I didn't select. I've updated IOS, turned on firewall and firevault, didn't help. My google homepage keeps rerouting to a smart search site. Very frustrated. Any suggestions.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of today, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
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 two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes the word is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same word you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
