What is wrong with the spam on my computer???!? It's out of control!!! Please help!!?
This only started a few days ago, but no matter what browser I use, there's nothing but spam! Everywhere! Even Wikipedia is FLOODED!!!! Every site text has links to spam websites straight from the text! I downloaded multiple malware/spam control programs, including Malwarebites and Windows Virus Control, and it says my computer is clean. I've even ran full scans, taking up to an hour. Every time I open up the browser, Malwarebites blocks so many pop-ups its not even funny. The root of the pop-ups are all from the same IP Address. I've tried changing my IP Address too..... not sure if it worked, but that's not helping either. Please, someone help!!! I'm worried I'm being tracked by some creep or something!! Also, if it's any help, I've been using FireFox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer..... I had to get three different browsers just to attempt to stop the spam!

If using IE try adblock for IE it stops pop ups and ads.

your computer is likely infected to the point a reply with solutions here won't help. since you have some of the needed software to deal with most infections.

i suggest you go to Bleepingcomputer.com, sign up, and post your issues in the aproraite forum. and read "am i infected".
this will likely take some back and forth, in depth solutions that cannot be completed to it's needed conclusion in this format.
----------
FYI,
an alternative browser is not a solution to your issues. merely a work around if that. if you do any online financial transactions, paying bills, or logon to see a bank balance, your financial secureity maybe at risk. an altinative browser is an ignorant way to deal with that possible scenario.
FYI,
Caution,
if you do any online finacial transactions, first thing you should do is contact them and change all security info, passwords and such. call them via the phone. DO NOT use your computer!!!!!!!!!!!
