[SOLVED] Aggressive pop-up

[kurdtnz]

Since this morning, if I try to click on any link on facebook,or sometimes when I open a new windows page etc, i keep getting a ''carphone warehouse'' pop-up. Ive tried clearing cache+cookies, ive tried to block it in the microsoft edge settings, ive ran malwarebytes and have tried to clear it with Norton but just cant seem to get rid of it. Any ideas?

Reinstall browser
or change browser temporarily
or Reinstall windows
But let's think a bit...
Maybe bitdefender is a little stronger, but I think had some stupid requirements. As for malwarebytes, what it does depends on whether you have free or paid version, personally I dislike the realtime protection things, but they seem to do things that the usual scans don't do.
Also, when we say 'run', let's be accurate - 'run' a total scan of the system, right? This includes all hard drives & partitions, with all niches, roots, rootkits, cookies, detecting all registry changes, pups & so on with quarantines in case of finding s.th.

There was a similar trash (not so aggressive) recently, that I got rid of with the adwcleaner of Malwarebytes:

In case it doesn't manage to find something, it can do some resets, like for winsock.
