What antivirus programs do u guys recommend and a link to them would be nice I use avast coupled with malwarebytes anti-malware. Ever since installing both of them together I haven't had a single problem with my PC. Avast can be found hereand malwarebytes here.The pop-ups are probably malware, and malwarebytes will pick them up. The random opening tabs are probably a self-installed extension in your browser, which will be picked up by avast. Both softwares have paid versions available, but the free versions have been sufficient for me.

I use Avast and Malware bytes and never had any issues :3/ Also remember when installing some applications to not let it install useless junk
