get rid of all malware, adware and pop up ads

Got fed up with pop ups and adverts ???. Clean your system quick, free, and fast. Why bare the teeth when you have failed

to block third party cookies in Explorer, and you run an AV program which has no access to the root files system?

Makes you wonder why you have a paid AV program not worth a cracker......... because it's Microsoft friendly. 

If you run Ad-aware AV which prevents "root kits"entering the system; which hide the presence of malware, you could be luckier than some.

Make sure you have backed up files.   Clear all browsing data and cookies.

Below  is a complete tool kit to keep your pc clean and safe.

 type in your browser ; http://support.kapersky.com/viruses/utility 

After the clean up utility make a "new back up of your files (without) the dreaded "root kits".

PC runs faster and clean. Have fun.

There are plenty of free and paid for applications that can clean up your system, but the most effective system is not clicking on things that are sus in the first place. Be careful about which sites you go to, if you hover your mouse over the link you can see a preview of the address usually in the lower left corner. If the address looks inconsistent with the site you intend to go to, don't click on it. Downloading "free" software and games can also be risky if you don't know whether the source is to be trusted or not. Keep your antivirus software up to date and switched on. (not sure what you mean by not having access to the root file system Vanderee unless you're talking about linux or android)

Windows has a root file system found in blbdrive.  Win 7 .8, 8.1. t

Kapersky renowned for TDSS Killer, works secure and efficient.

This link should work: RE: root kit files

Kaspersky anti virus has been around for quite a few years now and most serious IT specialists reckon its great.

I don't use it because Im lasy and get Trend antivirus free each year from a member of the family who is involved with Trend......does the job

But have used Kaspersky in the past and its brilliant !

 blbdrive is a service that is loaded in windows, not a directory. Don't know what it does though. But rootkits are malicious files that can affect your system files.
