Why is there pop-ups every time I press something on chrome?

I never had this problem before but recently i started to find out that mostly every time i pressed something on google chrome, a pop-up would pop up and the pop-up would usually be called Mackeeper and sometimes, some other ones. There also seems to be more ads on websites. I disabled pop-ups on chrome but they still show up. I also did 3-4 virus scans and nothing showed up. Please help. This is getting tiring to close the pop up every time i click something.
Also, I read many questions related to this but nothing worked. But there is a DNS server that is 8.8.8.8 which i don't know what it is.
This usually pops up.
Thanks

Pop ups are due to malware ..
Download and run the adware removal tool here >   The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
Easy, safe, and only takes a minute or two.
8.8.8.8 is Google's DNS server which obviously is not blocking malware.
I've used the OpenDNS server for years without any malware.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.

    I'm having trouble understanding your question.
    It appears some problem with regard to typing out messages to be sent.
    Do you have any 3rd party texting apps installed eg, auto text.
    Or has there been any 3rd party fonts been installed.

  • How can I stop App Store pop-ups every time I use my iPhone?

    It seems like every time I turn on my iPhone 4S lately, there is a window asking me if I would like to go to the App Store.  I have to click "OK" or "Cancel" before I can use the iPhone.  Extremely annoying.

    Actually, now that it's happened again (several times) I see that it actually says "iTunes store", not "App Store".

  • How do I stop pop ups every time I click a link

    Im using safari 6.1.6 and OS X 10.8.5 and whenever I click on legitimate websites I get pop ups. This could have been cause by mistakenly downloading something I shouldn't have. Im not sure if its related but now when I try and do a google search I get a list of google adds before my results with a yellow box saying 'ad' this didn't happen yesterday. Does anyone know what needs to be done to stop all this? Im a basic user and with little knowledge of the system.

    Go step by step and test.
    1. If adware is installed without your knowledge,
        download AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here
        http://www.adwaremedic.com
       Install , open,  and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
       Once done scanning and removing the adware, quit the app by clicking AdMedic in the menubar
        and selecting “Quit AdwareMedic”.
    2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
        Turn those off and try Safari.
    3. Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
        Press “Remove all website data” button.

  • Why does this error message pop up every time i open something.

    We’re sorry, but the Safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar.

    I found out!!
    By following this:
    I've been having the same problem. The thing is irritating. I searched community toolbar in google and found something that has been working for me. So far so good anyway.
    Open the Library folder
    Open the InputManagers folder
    Put the CTLoader in the trash.
    Empty trash. You may have to resart in order to empty trash
    I also was asked to give my admin password.
    Aaagh. No more Community Toolbar warnings

    Whenever I open indesign I try and click on the design I already have made and the rainbow wheel pops up and never goes away and I can't click on anything else and it never loads so I have to click force quit because it's the only option I can click on. I've force quit and tried to reopen indesign countless times. Help!

    Every time I click something on web pages, like a link or a search bar, I get a pop-up. It's usually a semi-related pop-up, like on Apple websites, I get a lot of MacKeeper pop-ups. I let my younger brother use my laptop yesterday, and now this is happening. I think he might have downloaded something, but I don't know what it is called or anything so I don't know how to delete it.
    I have a Macbook pro.
    Thank you!

    Your brother may have downloaded and installed something known as "adware." To see if that's the case, visit thomas_r.'s The Safe Mac website and look at the Adware Removal Guide page. You may also be able to use his Adware Removal Tool to get rid of the junk.
    Good luck,

  • How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time?

    How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time? Also, I have my mail account set up from my Yahoo! account and every time I open mail, it asks for the password for my Yahoo! account. I have checked save this password to keychain and it persists on popping up repeatedly.

    You don't want to disable keychain (if there's even a good way to do so), since it stores stuff like certificates and the such.  It's quite useful.
    Anyways, Keychains>Preferences>First Aid.  Check Set Login Keychain as default.  When you login, it unlocks the keychain.
    That should help you.

  • Hello there,  there is a rare window that keeps popping up every time i start Logic.  I'd like to send a screenshot... anyway, it's a "tempo" window with strange layout about midi effects and so,.... is it normal?  How can i improve this?  Thanks.

    hello there,  there is a rare window that keeps popping up every time i start Logic.  It's a "tempo" window with strange layout about midi effects and so,.... is it normal?  How can i improve this?  Thanks.

    Hmm, that's some sort of MIDI Arpeggiator setup in your environment. Strange that you don't know it, this has to be custom-installed, it is not part of the standard setup.
    You can do two things about it:
    1.unlock your current screenset (shift-L), then close the (Bass Driver) window, then relock the screenset (shift-L). Next time you open up this project you won't see the Bass Driver, but it is still in the project.
    2. You can remove the whole page: open the Environment (cmd-8), then go to the dropdown menu arrow top left of the Environment window and select the Bass Driver layer. If it is selected, dropdown again and choose Delete. Now Save your project under a different name (Save As...), so that you still keep the Bass Driver setup in the original project. If you don't need to keep it, you can simply Save.

  • Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

    Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop?  By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device.  So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection.  This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'.  My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

    Hello E
    Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

  • How to stop an error message that pops up every time I open Safari. It reads...Safari 5.1 (v6534.50) has not been tested with the plugin PithHelmet .As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer.

    How do I stop this error message from popping up every time I start up Safari ?
    Error message reads...
    Safari 5.1 (v6534.50) has not been tested with the plugin Pithhelmet 3.0b6 (v 3006)
    As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer.
    I have removed every trace of Pithhelmet, (via spotlight)
    Trashed the preferences for Safari, restarted computer to no avail.
    It just  keeps keepin on.
    Thanks

    In the past I was able to bypass the message by editing the Info.plist file and updating the MaxBundleVersion variable, but not so this time around. As of today the developer seems to indicate there's no immediate fix becuase of how Safari 5.1 handles multiprocess page rendering. Probably best to stay tuned to Mike's website for now.

  • How to disable the message that pops up every time i connect my iphone "photos in the camera roll of iphone cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode"?

    Wrongly posted in iPhoto forum, should probably be posted here instead.
    I want to remove the message that pops up every time i connect my IPhone that says: "Photos in the Camera Roll of "Name" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.".
    This computer is not one that I want to import photos to (or sync with the iPhone), so this message is just very annoying, and it pops up all the time. I cannot find a way to disable this message. It is constantly appearing. No application is launching, I have turned off the iPhoto launch in the Image Capture app as well as in iPhoto. Thanks in advance if anyone has any information about this.

    Because your computer sees your phone, as it would see any digital camera, as long as you have photos in your camera role. Since you state you don't sync with this computer & have a passcode on your phone, that's why you get that message. The only way to prevent that message is either start syncing with this computer; remove the photos from your camera roll prior to connecting; or first turn off your passcode before you connect. Either that, or you live with it.
    You shouldn't be storing photos in your camera roll anyway. iPhone camera roll is not designed for photo storage. You should be regularly importing them.

  • How do I get rid of the space game that keeps popping up every time I open Firefox?

    There is a space game that pops up every time I open the internet in Fire Fox. It does not do it in with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. I have to click "control", "alt" "a" to get it to stop playing every time or it will continually send up little space like ships and make shooting noises (so annoying). I just want it off of there, so I don't have to mess with it. Can you please help me remove it.

    If this isn't on the built-in Firefox home page, it could be caused by an add-on. To rule out one of your extensions is involved, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?
