I get a pop-up we know.ac tab every time I open a new tab

Sounds like you installed Adware. Give MalwareBytes Anti-Malware for Mac a try.

Still experiencing pop ups on iMac even after running Antivirus Zap...help! I continue to get pop ups that open new tabs even though I ran Anti-Virus Zap on my Mac. I've checked all the recommended preference settings too. I will say that Antivirus Zap did detect several "virus" files and deleted them. Any thoughts?

I've been getting pop ups in Macbook's Chrome, is it safe to install a cleaning software to get rid of these? I've been getting pop ups in Macbook's Chrome and I've tried everything from reseting blocking pop ups in settings, removing suspicious extensions, deleting unknown programs and resetting settings.. but none worked... There is another solution I found which is to install a cleaning software to detect viruses or malware... but is it safe to install a cleaning software to get rid of the pop ups? If yes which cleaning software is safe to download? Or does anyone have a better solution? thank you
