Help With Removing Annoying Pop-up

Guys/Gals I need some help. For the past couple of weeks there has been an extremely annoying and persistent popup that usually happens when I’m trying to logon to financial websites. As soon as I hover my cursor over the logon ID or the password field an outfit called “beenverified.com” and its B/S pops up. I have to go to the command line and delete it to carry on with my business.

I’ve gone to Google for help and Google wants to log on to beenverified and opt out. How am I supposed to log on to the outfit when I never joined up in the base case. Do you think I’m stupid enough to get on there and give them information so they can publish it to the world and then I will really have problems.

There is an extension for Chrom called “blocksite” that supposedly will block unwanted websites but I can’t get it going.

Any suggestion.

Does it happen with all browsers or just one?

If you don’t already have the Adblock Plus extension installed, do so and see if that fixes it. That also has a “block element” feature that lets you use the mouse to hover over something to block and set up a special rule. If even that doesn’t do it, install the uBlock Origin extension.

Doesn’t seem to bother Edge but I don’t like Edge except for use on the Fool.

Bingo!!! That just might be it. I went into “manage my extensions” and for some reason the little slider deal was slid over to off Adblock Plus and Malwarebytes. Don’t know how that happened. No wonder I’ve been having so many issues.

I’ve turned them both on and will try logging on to Fidelity and Wells Fargo and see what happens.

Thanks a million, I really appreciate it.

Not sure now. I just tried to log on to Fidelity and I get a pop up from “go.goldirainsider.com”. I tried to find the “block element” feature in the Chrome extensions and couldn’t find it. Once I cleared the pop up I was able to log on to Fidelity.

So, long story short, I may still have the problem.

Turn off all your extensions and see if you still have the problem.

Clear your cache. Somewhere there is a cookie giving hazardous instructions. Start clean.

Yes, you will have to sign back on to even casual websites (the Fool!) the first time again, but it should get rid of the errant one.

This morning’s surprise is trustaio.com when trying to log on to Barclaycard.

Block element is a feature of Adblock Plus:

I am thinking he has a virus.
