My MAC is running slowly and I am having to continually remove unwanted pop ups and leave unwanted pages which appear including MACkeeper. If I am on a sports website, betting pages appear - any ideas?

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 stop pop-ups in Safari beyond "block pop-up windows" since that does not work

Do I type more details here? Do I take pictures? Change my font? Why????
WHY can't I simply ask a question and get other users to comment or answer the question? You have made everything so much more complicated.
When I go into the Apple store and present these issues, I get silly grins and tee-hees followed by "yeah, this is the way they do it now."
At one point I am asked if I "LIKE" something. Who cares? Just fix the darn computer! What are tags and why?
Apple is getting more like Microsoft everyday.

Pop-Ups windows are effectively being blocked in Safari, but some web-sites have updated their sites to open a window when you click on content on their site. This is not a Safari issues it is a web-site issue. I am not sure on how to stop these without stopping other features on the browser. You can get more information about this by clicking here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_ad

How do I allow pop ups in safari without being asked "block or allow" ?

I'm assuming that when I turned on the setting in Safari to allow pop-ups, I wouldn't have to tell the browser to allow or block every single pop up after that. Is there a combination of settings to make allow pop-ups without the additional "block or allow" message from popping up before the pop up window.
I used a 3rd party web application that has been coded for their drill-down messages to be displayed in another screen and I have no control over that.
Thanks for any information you can provide.

Well, not that helpful unless you can determine if that window is coming from Safari or iOS or from whatever the other "3rd party web application" you were talking about.
If you don't want to play in that pool, then assume that iOS and/or Safari are working incorrectly. Your Users Guide has a whole chapter (at the end) devoted to what you do when things aren't going well, generally following the sequence of
Restart - red slider, then boot up again
Force Quit apps - either via Sleep/Wake followed by Home, or via Recents Tray
Reset - hold Home & Sleep/Wake to force reboot
Reset iPad Settings - Settings > General >Reset
Erase All Content - same as above
Restore iPad Software - iTunes or iOS 5 equivalent
You start at #1 and work your way through until the issue you're seeing goes away. If you get through all of the steps and it still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of gas and have to start talking to Apple.
So .. start at #1.

How do I remove flash pop-ups from Safari?

Hi.
Up until now, Safari has been working perfectly. I constantly have flash pop-up ads opening in new windows (e.g. MacKeeper, MediaDownloader etc) or just flashing on Youtube, my email pages and in Google. It is driving me insane. I have researched on how to try and remove this. When I turn off my plug-ins, then they seem to disappear. However, I have always had my plug-ins turned on and have never had this problem before. I have tried to remove the plug-ins, but it won't let me. Is there anyway to fix this? Is it possible for me to remove Safari all together and then download it from the App Store?
PS: I have OSX 10.9.2
Please help.
Thanks,
Charel R

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool. Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mavericks- Protect your Mac from malware
About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

How to remove web pop ups

I just installed an MacProtector version 2.6 as an update and now rude websites are randomly popping out when my son was using the internet.
I tried fixing it by checking the system preference security and blocking pop out, the problem still persist. Also my son informed me that when he attempted to log on to his youtube account, it is telling him that someone is still already logged in when in fact he has not yet logged in. Please help.

You have to remove this garbage. It's a scam.
First, restart in Safe Boot by holding the Shift key down at the chime. Or, alternatively, open Activity Monitor in Utilities, set to Active Processes, find the program and force quit it. This will keep it from running, so you can remove it.
    1.    Drag the MacSecurity program -- or whatever it's called, MAC Defender, MacProtector (installed in the Applications folder by default) to the Trash. Empty the Trash.
    2.    Remove item of same name from the Login Items for your Account in the OS X System Preferences (if it exists).
    3.    Go to your Home folder Library>Preferences and Application Support (may not be one there) and search for any files with one of the above names and trash them. Empty the trash.
    4.    If you use Safari, go to Preferences>General and UNCHECK "Open "safe" files after downloading." Keep that unchecked.
If you paid for it, they have your credit card #. Call your credit card and dispute the changes. Also, cancel the card ASAP.
As a precaution, change your password.

You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.
Blocking popup windows in Safari and ad blocker extensions can be useful, but they are often ineffective defenses for this particular threat.

It varies depending on the browser and browser version you're using. In Safari, click on the Safari menu and turn the block off; if that's not an option, choose Preferences and click on Security.

Just installed Malwarebyte and i am still getting unwanted pop ups and new windows.

Just installed Malwarebyte and i am still getting unwanted pop ups and new windows.

You can supplement your Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan with some other tools Firefox users have found effective. See: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
But it also makes sense to check a couple of things manually.
(1) Extensions installed in Firefox
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then take a careful look and disable everything you either don't recognize or don't use regularly. If Firefox prompts you to restart to make the change effective, you can do that as the last step after completing your review of the list.
(2) Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program
Click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent infections, I mean, additions, to the top. This is useful in revealing bundles that may have snuck unwanted software onto your PC. Remove everything you don't remember choosing intentionally.
Any improvement?
