    Is anyone else having issues with the "ATTN...Your download speeds are not fully optimized..." pop up ad at the top of EVERY page on Facebook?

    I did search the Internet and read that this would be an issue with my computer and not Facebook.

    I run Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware regularly and can not come up with anything on my PC.

    Don't know what else to check. When it appears on Facebook, I do not click or download anything. I simply attempt to shut it down and sometimes have to go to another page to get rid of it.

    :(

    Thanks for any help.

    That's okay. I'll just pass. Didn't know it was going to be an ordeal and I've already spent enough time on this.

    Thanks.

    Well, I wouldn't want to keep running with ad-ware and who-knows-what on my system!

    FYI: Neither of those are designed to detect rootkits.

    How often are rootkits gotten compared to all the other ****. Rootkits don't come often, but when they do, they can be a real pain to get rid of.

    True but, I've removed two so far this month. (One on a HP and another on an Acer. Both were standard 15.6" laptops running Windows 7).
