malicious pop-up ad from lacare.org
How can this spoofer be stopped? They obviously are able to bypass much of Microsoft security under the guise of an lacare.org pop-up advertisement except when you click on the add, the website comes...

wcb_123 I think it may have just been a really badly designed drop-down menu, I didn't notice anything funny. I headed over there for the fun of it because I think there's like a security AI following me around, but I'm probably just crazy.
Oh, wait a minute. Looks like my browser / AI did a nice job blocking out some things (but not the terribly designed drop-down menu):
@Andrzej1, you don't sound like a nice person. Or maybe I read the tone wrong.

- tdc_928Dec 23, 2022Copper ContributorI have been getting the same popup. Total AdBlock does block it. But I shouldn't have to buy a program to stop getting a popup that I have no control over.
- wcb_123Dec 23, 2022Brass ContributorTotal AdBlock? But I see you now get a recurring ad from them instead. Possibly THEY are the source of this annoying pop-up?
- tdc_928Dec 23, 2022Copper ContributorThe LACare popup was there before Total Adblock was put on the machine. So it isn't likely Total Adblock is the source. I don't know how it is that I became the lucky one to have this popup issue.
I only mention Total Adblock because so far it is the only thing that stops the popup. The source of the popup must be doing something they shouldn't or it would be blocked. McAfee Total Protection can't find anything, Webroot Secure Anywhere can't find anything, Malware Bytes can't find anything. There is something that Total Adblock finds and blocks and so far only they can block it.
