I haven’t had problems with pop up ads for years, but over the last few days I’m getting a pop up for Registry Mechanic. It pops up without an X in the upper right corner.The only way to get rid of it is to click on the “buy” button and then click on the upper corner X.

How is this by passing my Norton 360? What can I do to stop it?

Thanks!
