I have some kind of virus that opens an irritating advertisement in the right or left corner (it moves) every time I open an new internet tab. It is very irritating.

Does anyone know what that is or how to get rid of it?

I think i got it from GLP, because it never opens in a GLP tab.

Assuming you're running Windows, download and run MalwareBytes and see if that gets rid if it.

You shouldn't run with Scripting enabled globally, which is probably how you got it in the first place. If you're not already, start using Firefox with the NoScript extension and only allow scripting on sites that you trust that won't work without it.

Trying the free version now. Will let you know if this helps.

AVG didn't do it, so I uninstalled.

I think Malwarebytes got it: PUM.Hijack.

Thanks!
