If you are getting a lot of popups and you are not in porn sites, and they are not the popunders about going to school online that some free resource sites like to use to raise money, you are infested.
The fact that your blocker blocked that many pops is alarming! You had so much thiefware on board, it’s scary. Just think of all the activity!
Depending on your surfing habits, you may get one or two pops a day. That’s what I get, some days, tops!! At least learn what’s normal for you so you can watch the blocker and if it claims to block more than that, clean your computer of the thiefware you picked up.
Of course there is the handful of affiliates that insist on putting popup hells in the search engines, but they are becoming far and between.
