I've read through the posts  and tried many things suggested in the posts: I looked into my Task Manager and couldn't find any suspicious processes running; I did a full system scan with Windows Defender; I even wiped clean my hard drive and re-installed my Windows 8 OS and applications/programs.   But I just can't get rid of this:    It never appears on "major" websites like www.microsoft.com or www.usnews.com; it most often pops up on forums, like www.cplusplus.com/forum/ or www.linuxforums.org/forum/; it advertises anything (usually obscure) from car rental business to insurance.  When it pops up, I immediately look into Task Manager, but I can't find any new/suspicious processes running; I tried to "inspect element" on Chrome but I don't know where I should look...  I'm suspecting if some existing program is causing this, because I have the exact same programs on my PC before and after I re-installed my OS. But all my programs are developing tools like Eclipse, GitHub, Visual Studio, etc (except for Foxit reader; but again, I'm not running it when I see the pop-up)  I get this pop-up almost daily--Need help!
What should I do if my Windows computer seems to be infected with a virus or malware?  What are the symptoms of an infection? What should I do after noticing an infection? What can I do to get rid of it? how to prevent from infection by malware?   This question comes up frequently, and the suggested solutions are usually the same.

Condition on a,b and c satisfying an equation(TIFR GS 2017) Let $a,b,c$ be positive real numbers satisfying $$(1+a+b+c)\left(1+\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}\right)=16,$$ then $a+b+c=3$.  I thought about the application of the AM-GM-HM inequality, but in vain. I also thought about splitting 16 into factors and comparing but went nowhere. Any ideas. Thanks beforehand. From a link from the question  to the HP Wikia, I started mulling over something I read about Voldemort and the "regeneration" potion (not a canon potion, but I'll use it for lack of a better way of describing it. . .) and would really like to know:  How did Voldemort drink the regeneration potion to turn his body into the grotesque childlike form we see in Goblet of Fire while he was still in a "mangled spectral state"?  Spectres (i.e. spirits or ghosts) are non-corporeal; they obviously can't consume food or drink liquids. So, how did Voldemort overcome this difficulty and manage to drink the regeneration potion? My significant other and I finish our master degrees at the same time and thus we are applying for PhD programmes at the same time. One major factor of accepting a potential offer would be if we could study at the same university, so I feel that mentioning a two-body problem would be advantageous for both, us and the admission committee. But where do I mention this? Is a line in the statement of purpose suitable here?     If you admit me, please also consider admitting my significant other Jane Roe.   Some additional information: We both do research in computer science. While I do research in natural language processing my partner does research in computer vision. Let $p&gt;3$ be a prime. Prove that $24 \mid p^2-1$.   I know this is very basic and old hat to many, but I love this question and I am interested in seeing whether there are any proofs beyond the two I already know. I would like to ask a question about Java that doesn't have a specific answer. It's a question to see what people think and to share their opinion.    Will Stack Overflow tolerate this, or is there another Stack Exchange resource where I may ask a question like this? Getting a stack overflow exception when declaring a large array If I take the $k \in \mathbb{N}$ power of 10 and mod it by a large prime, I notice that the remainders repeat at some point.  For instance $10^k mod~7$ seems to repeat every $8$th value of $k$.  Given $k$ (the power of ten), and a large prime number $p$, how can I compute the size of the cycle?  I tried writing a python script that computes the first instance of a repeat. However, I don't know if this works since a single instance of a repeat may not necessarily mean a full cycle. If $A, B$ are two non empty sets of real numbers and for every $a$ from $A$ and $b$ from $B$     $a &lt; b$,   how can I prove that      $\sup A \leq \inf B$? Recently my wife and I traveled to Italy and before we left we got about 85% of our money in travelers checks and the other 15% we carried on in cash. When we arrived there, no one would take our travelers checks and many places did not accept credit cards. Eventually, we found some currency exchange places that would take the travelers checks and give us Euro's, but at a 7-15% fee, which was not really a very fun surprise.   While I was under the impression that it is safer to use travelers checks, it seems that they were not really accepted (the usual explanation being fraud). So the question is, is it best to just exchange your currency at home and carry all of it with you when you travel or are there other alternatives to carrying cash that are safer and cost effective? Profile changes in Q&A are not pushed to Area 51 I just noticed that the info text on  is an older version of the text in .  I found  from April 2016 where Adam Lear says:     Area 51 is a separate codebase. It's also heavily outdated. Currently we can push a profile update from Q&amp;A to Area 51, but not the other way around   I think the pushing isn't working anymore. I just updated my text on SO again and it was changed in all my accounts, except Area 51. A good reference on optimal control theory Ok, so I am reading about decision making and I came across this subject. Fortunately it has a  , but the point is I want to see some examples, and learn to solve regular problems of this field. Of course I can go for the book by Pontryagin but then I don't think that would be an educative book. Does anyone has a suggestion? I would be happy if it also covers LQ problems. P.S. I studied math, therefore I appreciate a book with rigorous approach to the subject. I have a custom object. I want to put in a business rule so that a combination of two fields must be unique.   So I have Field1 and Field2 and want the combination to be unique:  Field1=4, Field2=7 Field1=4, Field2=8   is ok  But,   Field1=4, Field2=7 Field1=4, Field2=7   is not ok  What is the easiest / best way to do this? Thanks. "All of the ...." or " All the ... "? Why is gradient the direction of steepest ascent? I'm looking for a source/spec that can tell me what CSS properties can applied to which HTML elements.  For instance, the css property; "overflow".  I know I can apply this to div, p, textarea but what other elements can I apply this too?  Is there a spec somewhere I can reference? Convergence of $A_nT$ to $AT$ in operator norm for compact $T$ $A_n:Y\rightarrow Z$ are operators that strongly converge to $A$. Also, $\|A_n\|_\text {op}\le c$ for $c&gt;0$. Given a compact operator $T:X\rightarrow Y$, I need to show that $A_nT$ converges to $AT$ in operator norm (all spaces in this question are Banach spaces).     I was unable to prove this and I also do not understand why we need to assume that $T$ is compact. Any ideas? Set spawn point for a specific player I made a server and me and one of my friends want to do a prank on another friend, because he stole all my enchanted diamond armor.  The Prank  I want to set a player's spawn point in a pit of lava, how would I do this without affecting anyone else's spawn point? Video editing software options? What video editing software would you recommend on Ubuntu (or Linux in general) and why?  It can be for either beginners or experienced users.
