Computers and modern gadgets

Hello, dear readers of the site! While surfing the Internet, you have probably come across pages where various information is displayed in pop-up blocks. It doesn't seem like much, but she's very annoying. It may offer to buy something, or ask: “Or maybe you are looking for an answer to such and such a question? Write to our expert..."

They may not appear immediately, but after you click on the page, close it, or after a certain time. Considering that recently a lot of viruses and programs that can harm a computer have been spread through them, the issue of blocking them is very relevant.

Therefore, let's look at how to block pop-up windows in the Yandex browser using the capabilities of the browser itself, without installing third-party extensions and programs, as well as how to disable their blocking.

Pop-up blocker

If you need to remove such blocks in the Yandex browser, click on the three horizontal stripes in the upper right corner of the web browser and select “Settings” from the menu.

Scroll down the settings page and click on the “Show advanced settings” button.

In the window that opens, find the “Pop-up windows” section and check the “Block on all sites” field. Then click on the “Done” button.

After that, when you open a site in a Yandex browser that contains them, you will see a crossed out square in the address bar on the right. Clicking on it will open a list of what has been blocked.

Allowing pop-ups in the Yandex browser

In the Yandex browser settings, their blocking is enabled by default. And if, on the contrary, you need to disable it so that you can fill out the registration form, or view additional information, then do the following.

As described in the previous paragraph, go to your browser settings and in “Personal Data” find the section with the desired name. Place a checkmark in the “Allow on all sites” field and click “Done.”

Now you will see them on all sites where they are provided.

By the way, the browser itself does not recommend enabling this function so that they are displayed on all pages. But what if you regularly visit a certain site and the information that is displayed there is extremely important to you? Let's move on to the next point...

Setting up pop-ups

In the Yandex browser, users have the opportunity to specify which sites to block or allow.

If you have allowed it on all sites, but there are a couple where you would like to disable them, then in the “Content Settings” in the already familiar section, click on the “Manage Exceptions” button.

A window like this will appear. Insert the website address into the first field, and select “Block” from the list opposite. Then click "Done".

Here you can add all the necessary addresses. To remove an unnecessary resource from the list, hover your mouse cursor over it and click on the cross that appears in the line on the right.

After this, on the specified pages, pop-up windows will be blocked.

If, on the contrary, you have disabled them in your browser settings, but still need them to appear on certain sites, then click the “Manage exceptions” button.

We paste the address of the page where they should be displayed and select “Allow” opposite. Add all the required pages to this list and click “Finish”.

Now on all sites whose addresses are listed in the exclusion list, you can view information in pop-up windows.

If you don’t know exactly which resource you will need permission to show them on, then that’s okay.

For example, you visited a page and it is necessary to display information in a similar block. Click on the crossed out square in the address bar on the right and in the window that opens, place a checkmark in the “Allow pop-up windows on the site” field.

After this, this site will automatically be added to the list of exceptions, which you filled out yourself a little higher.

If you don’t want them to constantly appear on this site, then just click on the desired link of the blocked window to view it.

So, without using third-party extensions, Yandex browser users have the opportunity to quickly block or, conversely, allow pop-up windows on various pages on the Internet.

Tired of constantly popping up ads on all websites and want to get rid of them? It doesn’t matter where it appeared: in Yandex browser, Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, this problem can happen to anyone. This article tells you how to remove ads in your browser so that they don’t bother you.


The source of unwanted pop-ups could be an extension with Adware (a program that displays advertisements), a virus on your computer (laptop), or malware. Whatever the reason, the symptoms are the same: when opening the site or clicking the mouse anywhere on it, banners are shown, windows pop up, new pages with dubious content open, etc.

You won’t be able to remove ads in your browser or get rid of pop-ups in one way forever. If only because it penetrates the computer in different ways. Therefore, we will look at several tools and methods to combat annoying advertising. Read if she annoys you and is already fed up with her.

How to remove ads in your browser automatically

As a result, you can concentrate on viewing the main content and not be distracted by pop-up ads. Using simple Adblock settings, the extension can be easily customized. If you want to allow ads to be displayed on your favorite sites, add them to the white list.

How to remove viral advertising from your computer using Adguard

Multifunctional Internet filter that can block pop-ups and other advertisements in browsers - Adguard, official website -.

The tool is paid, but it has a trial period of 2 weeks (14 days).

Be careful, during installation the developers recommend (consider advertising) Yandex products: Yandex Elements, browser manager, Yandex browser, search and the search engine home page. Therefore, in the installation window, uncheck the appropriate boxes so that later there will be no surprises like: “Who installed all this on my computer - is it a virus or not?”

After installing Adguard, its shortcut will be displayed in the tray, on the screen at the bottom right, on the side, where the date and clock are in Windows.

By launching the program’s working window and going to the “Protection” tab, you can clearly see the main functionality of Adguard, namely:

Removing viral ads from the browser using Hitman Pro

Hitman Pro finds and removes rootkits, trojans, viruses, worms, bots, spyware and malware utilities. Official download page: www.surfright.nl/en/downloads

Although the utility’s website is in English, when launched it is displayed in Russian, so the described parameters in the installation window should be clear.

When you run the downloaded file, instead of installing Hitman Pro on your computer, check the box next to “No, I’m going to scan the system only once” so that you don’t have to install it. A one-time check will be sufficient.

In this case, close running applications and click “Next” to begin cleaning the system from infections. During cleaning, the necessary programs will be closed automatically.

To remove malware from your computer, you need to activate HitmanPro for free. You will be offered a choice: enter an activation key or receive a free license for 30 days. Let's choose the second one.

This is what the working window looks like with detected threats that need to be eliminated.

After removing viruses, you need to restart your computer.

How to get rid of advertising in the browser manually - search and remove the virus

If the previous utilities did not help, then proceed to a manual search.

Hidden processes of running programs can display intrusive ads. Often, users are not even aware of installing such “surprises” on their computer; these “gifts” can be installed without your knowledge with other useful applications.

Disabling extensions with Adware, due to which advertisements are shown on all sites

To disable pop-up ads on websites, pay attention to extensions. They often replace regular website advertisements with their own ones, those that are beneficial to the developers of these malicious utilities. Why is this being done? The answer is banal and simple - to make money.

Popular browsers:

  • Google Chrome – Menu – “Additional tools” tab – “Extensions”.
  • Yandex browser – Settings – “Add-ons”.
  • Mozilla Firefox - menu "Tools" - "Add-ons" - tab "Extensions".
  • Opera – Menu – “Extensions” tab – “Extensions” manager.

First of all, pay attention to recently installed add-ons, and then to those that you have had for a long time, because they might have something built into them.

You can find the malicious source experimentally: first disable all extensions, and then enable them one by one.

Below, as an example, is a page with Mazila Firefox extensions.

If you find the source of the problem, feel free to delete it by clicking the corresponding “Delete” button.

Removing programs that display ads

Over time, new programs appear that, having penetrated the user’s computer, display unwanted ads in all browsers. Below is a list of some of them.

  • Conduit
  • Babylon
  • Baidu
  • awesomehp
  • Pirrit Suggestor
  • Webalta
  • Websocial
  • Search Protect
  • Mobogenie
  • RSTUpdater

This is not an exhaustive list, but it is enough. What to do with him?

Using CCleaner (there is a free version on the developers' website) or standard Windows solutions, look at the list of programs installed on your computer.

In Windows 7 – Start – Control Panel – Programs – Uninstall.

Try to find one of the programs listed above among the installed programs. To delete an application, you first need to click on it with the mouse and only then the “Delete” button will appear at the top of the table.

If the above programs are not on your list, search for applications by installation date. First of all, look at those whose installation coincides with the date the advertisement appeared.

Do not rush to remove programs from your computer if you are not confident in them. With this action you can remove something important: some system file or drivers. Therefore, before clicking the “Delete” button, search the Internet for reviews about your “suspect”.

Remember! You perform all actions at your own peril and risk.

After starting the browser, new windows with advertising constantly open - clean the hosts and set up the start page

Some programs make changes to the hosts file in order to show you “left” sites, for example, instead of the Yandex or Google search engine, the social network VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, etc. an advertising platform will be displayed, covered with dubious advertisements “from head to toe”.

Instead of showing ads, you may be redirected to fraudulent sites that are duplicates of the original web pages. You, without suspecting it, will enter your username and password in the hope of logging in somewhere, but no such luck, your data will be taken over by attackers. Accounts of social networks and other popular services are often hacked in this way.

One of the previous articles talked about the hosts file: where it is located and how to fix it (return it to its original form). In short, you need to go to the following path (Windows 7):

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

To quickly find the specified file, copy and paste the above path into the Start - search form labeled “Search programs and files” and press Enter.

There will be a folder etc, click on it. A list of files will be displayed in a new window, open hosts (use the text editor Notepad).

Delete everything below the last line starting with a hash sign.

After checking the hosts file, look at your browser settings. Perhaps some settings are specified in them and each time the web browser opens the wrong URL that you wanted to see.

After checking your web browser settings (you can set your start page in them, which should open upon startup), look at the properties of its shortcut on the desktop.

Pay attention to the “Object” field; apart from the path to the browser, there should not be anything unnecessary in it.

If, after removing unnecessary entries from the shortcut properties, intrusive pages continue to open, then delete it completely and create a new one from the web browser folder.

  1. Google Chrome - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
  2. Mozilla Firefox - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
  3. Opera - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe"
  4. Yandex Browser - “C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Yandex\YandexBrowser\Application\browser.exe”

After removing ads, the browser does not connect to the proxy server - what should I do?

Sometimes, after cleaning the computer, websites stop opening and a message is displayed: There was an error connecting to the proxy server.

In Windows 7, open Start - Control Panel - Network and Internet - Properties.

A new window will open called “Properties: Internet”, go to the “Connections” tab and click the “Network Settings” button.

In the new window “Configuring local network parameters”, check the box next to “Automatic detection of parameters”. A little lower, uncheck the box next to “Use a proxy server.”

That's all, I hope you will be able to clear your browser of ads, as well as get rid of intrusive pop-ups. If you know other ways, share them in the comments.

Probably the most popular and annoying problem on the Internet for ordinary users is constantly appearing advertisements in the browser. If when you click on every site, pop-up windows with advertisements open, then you have installed malware, an application, or a virus. Getting rid of this is not always easy.

It's called AdWare. Its creators make money by watching ads. Typically, advertisements are broadcast in pop-up windows of various bookmakers and casinos.

I will try to show universal ways to solve this problem in all popular browsers ( Opera, Yandex, Chrome...) and help you get rid of this advertising forever.

Remove ads without additional programs

Since the applications and programs that cause pop-up windows to appear are not viruses, your antivirus may not see them. Follow these instructions as follows:

  1. Disable all applications in the browser. If the advertisement appeared because of him, it will disappear.
  2. Remove suspicious programs. It is possible that one of them is the cause of the advertisement.
  3. Remove the unnecessary ones.

Don't forget to restart your computer when you're done. You may have been lucky and removed ads with these simple steps; if not, read on.

Getting rid of advertising with AdwCleaner

This program is free and created specifically for such cases with advertising. It will cope with the virus if it is in the browser. Download it from the official website and run ( no installation required). Perform a scan.

Then check all tabs ( highlighted in yellow in the image), uncheck the required elements ( if you are sure) and perform cleaning. Then the computer will restart, the program will clean up and set the browser settings to default. I found 3 problems in the registry.

After the reboot, you will see a report on the work performed. Open your browser and check the result. If the advertisement remains, don’t worry. Use the following method.

Getting rid of advertising with Anti-Malware

If other methods do not help, use this program. It was created specifically to combat AdWare. The developers provide free access for 14 days, which is enough for you to remove ads. Download it from the official website and install.

Run a system scan. Remove all found objects using this program.


Usually these three methods will be enough to solve this problem.

Manual way to remove ads

Did the other methods not help you? Then try to get rid of advertising in your browser by deleting the process responsible for its appearance. Use the free Process Explorer program. To do this, download it and run it ( no installation required). You need to find suspicious processes and remove them. The program contains a detailed description of each of them.

If you doubt any process, you can check it for viruses. To do this, select it and open the context menu. In it, select “Check VirusTotal” as in the image below. The results will be shown in the column on the right. You can also simply search for information about it in any search engine.


As soon as you have found the process responsible for displaying advertising, try stopping it and check ( restarting the computer) whether advertising disappeared. If it appears again, find the location of the files that launch it and delete them. To do this, select “Properties” in the context menu.


The path to the files will be displayed here ( a random process is taken as an example). Go there and delete them.

If you can’t delete for some reason, try doing it through safe mode. To do this, you need to turn it on.

Go to the Windows run prompt ( Win+R) and enter the command msconfig as shown in the image below.



Go to the path that was specified in the parameters and delete the files. Now the advertising should disappear.

Checking the task scheduler

If all of the above methods did not work, then you need to go to the Windows task scheduler and see what is there. Go to Start >> Control Panel >> Task Scheduler.

First, enable the display of hidden tasks.

Then delete suspicious tasks and tabs with advertisements will no longer appear. Below is a demonstration of how everything should roughly look like for you.


Possible problems after removing the virus

Adware leaves behind several problems. It can change the start page from the shortcut, change the hosts file and network settings. Now I will show you how to fix it all.

Shortcut fix

Sometimes you cannot change the start page when you turn on the browser. Therefore, most likely the virus added the address of its page to the address in the shortcut.

To fix this, go to the shortcut properties of your browser. Open the “Shortcut” tab and in it delete all the characters that are located behind the quotes in the “Object” field, as in the example below.

Or simply delete the shortcut and create a new one.

The virus can block access to search engines and other sites through the hosts file. You need to fix it. You can do this with a text editor ( notepad or other).

Go to My Computer Explorer and follow the path: Your disk with the system ( usually drive C) >> Windows >> System32 >> Drivers >> etc. Open hosts with a text editor. Delete all lines up to the first character from the bottom # and save the file.


Correcting network settings

It is possible that when you logged into your browser, you encountered an error connecting to the proxy server. You can fix it in the network settings.

Go to Start >> Control Panel >> Internet Options. Here go to the “Connections” tab and go to the network settings.

In this window, leave “Automatically detect parameters” as in the image below, and remove the rest.

There should be no more errors.

Poll Options are limited because JavaScript is disabled in your browser.

In the past, pop-ups were a way to achieve interactivity on websites. Various dialog boxes, ongoing events, action confirmations - all this was implemented with their help. At the moment, there are other, more advanced tools for this. The windows themselves have become a way to display intrusive advertising and Internet fraud. This article describes in detail how to remove annoying pop-up windows in your Yandex browser. Both standard tools and third-party solutions are considered.

The program developers have provided the ability to remove pop-up windows and disable their operation. Like many other parameters, this option is switched in the settings menu in the Yandex browser. There is nothing complicated about this, just follow the instructions provided:

Exceptions

Some of the resources you need may still use pop-ups to do their job. If you trust them and are sure that the security of your personal computer and personal information is not at risk, you can remove these sites from blocking.

There is a special tool for this called “Exceptions”. To add or remove a website from the exclusion list, you will need to do the following:


If pop-ups don't bother you, you can allow them but disable them for certain sites using this same tool.

Adguard extension

The Yandex web browser has several pre-installed add-ons that can be very useful for Russian-speaking users. One of them is the functional Adguard plugin, designed to protect against advertising. It can disable pop-ups, remove unwanted ads in videos, and remove annoying banners from website pages.

For this application to work, it must be enabled. This is done in the browser settings in the extension manager. Call the control panel and open the section called “Add-ons” (“Extensions”).

All plugins installed in the browser are located here, conveniently sorted into thematic sections. Adguard is located at the very bottom, in the “Security” section. Just set the switch next to the addon name to the “On” position. Now your surfing the Internet will become much safer.

Adblock extension

AdBlock Plus is the most popular security add-on for browsers. It is used all over the world. The program has versions for any browser, including Yandex. The plugin's functions are similar to Adguard, but the program is much more reliable and has a larger database of malicious scripts that must be disabled for security purposes.

You can install the AdBlockPlus extension using the link located on the official website of the developer. Go to https://adblockplus.org/ru/. Click on the Yandex logo icon to select the current version. After that, click on the big green “Install on Yandex browser” button. Wait a few seconds while the extension downloads and installs on your browser.

If you often spend time on the Internet, then you probably know first-hand what pop-up windows are in the Yandex browser and why they occur. Sometimes it's just harmless advertising. But if suddenly intrusive windows with offers to get rich quickly or gamble constantly begin to appear, this is already a sign that you have caught a virus somewhere. How to disable pop-up windows in the Yandex browser and what can you do to prevent them from appearing at all?

Today, there are a large number of standard tools built into the browser, as well as various programs offered by third-party developers. In this article we will look at various options for how to effectively remove pop-up windows in the Yandex browser.

Built-in software

Enable blocking

Yandex offers its users the opportunity to block unnecessary advertising using software mechanisms built into the browser. Therefore, the easiest way to combat pop-up advertising is to use this particular option. Usually, when such a problem occurs, the Yandex browser automatically launches the built-in blocker. If it does not turn on immediately, it only means that this option was disabled. What should I do to enable it? Here is an approximate procedure:

What to do when you need to disable not all pop-up windows in the Yandex browser? How can I add the ones I need in a new way? To do this we use the function"Exception Management". After enabling it, in the additional panel, indicate the name of the site for which the blocking should not apply, click on “Allow”, then on “Finish”.

Other extensions

For the convenience of users, this web browser also has several pre-installed add-ons. Finding them is very simple, to do this you need to do the following:

  1. In the “Menu” we find the “Add-ons” section.
  2. We are looking for the “Ad blocking” block. It is needed so that the browser can automatically prohibit and remove most dangerous elements on a web page. This block consists of three points:

Blocking flash data, thanks to which you can configure a ban on playing various flash banners, as well as videos that affect the speed of your computer.

Abguard, which blocks almost all pop-up ads, as well as unnecessary videos and text messages.

Additional software

In addition to the software built into the Yandex browser You can also use additional utilities, of which there are now a huge number. We will consider only those that are in great demand.

Adblock Plus program

This utility is perhaps the most favorite among Internet users around the world and is used to provide comprehensive ad protection. Its undoubted advantage is the presence of a large database of malicious scripts, thanks to which it promptly warns about phishing or malicious sites, as well as about virus software, or as it is otherwise called AdWare. If necessary, in the additional panel you can find out about the data that was blocked by the program. You can download it on the website: www. adblock.org.ru.

After installing the utility, a red icon with the inscription “ABP” should appear in the browser toolbar. If you need to stop the application for a while, then just click on it. In the same way, you can open settings or view statistics of blocked windows.

How to allow pop-up windows in Yandex using Adblock Plus, if, for example, they help with work? To do this, the program has the ability to configure filters accordingly, so that the application will work taking into account the user's needs.

Adblock

This is almost a complete analogue of the previous software, which also easily solves the problem of pop-up windows. You can find it at https://getadblock.com. The convenience of using this software is the possibility of highly specialized filtering. To configure it you need:

  1. Go to "Menu"
  2. In it select “Add-ons”,
  3. Click on “Extension Catalog”
  4. We write the query we need in the search bar. If, for example, you only need to remove advertising on Youtube, then, accordingly, select “Adblock for Youtube”.

AdwCleaner

Sometimes it happens like this, that even despite all the listed options, advertising continues to pop up. This indicates the presence of malware that has been “caught” by the computer. This is exactly what AdwCleaner comes in handy for. Using it is very simple: just install it and start the scanning process. The program will do the rest itself. The methods of combating pop-up advertising listed in the article are not the only possible ones. However, their use is effective, and most importantly, so simple that even an inexperienced user can use them.
