Ad-block browser add-ons will prevent those pop up windows. Both Firefox and Chrome have built-in functionality to prevent those pop ups from appearing.

[quote=djpinc19]Then you might not have a keylogger. The website in question might have had tainted advertisements that carry the keylogger. Your antivirus might have already killed the antivirus without you knowing. There have been times when Basilmarket received a bunch of bad ads and victims of virus infections were blaming the website.[/quote]

[quote=demonko33]I have that too. Forgot to mention it. I've been like trying to see if my computer did actually get keylog by looking at the task manager. I didn't find anything. I also scan my computer with avgvast and spy-bot search and destroy.[/quote]
