I suddenly keep getting things from TopTipsNews popping up on my wizzley screen - even here, below the "Create Topic" line and the message I am typing, there are one-line ads running constantly. Also, on my window as I am writing a new article, there are both the one-line ads and boxes of "You might enjoy reading" ads totally unconnected with Wizzley. This must be something that infected my computer, but it only appears on the wizzley site and I can't find anything about it when doing a google search.

Can anyone help me get rid of this? (Only posting here because it is only on wizzley pages)

One suggestion: try running Malwarebytes.

Thanks Mira. That did it!  Now I have a bunch of stuff quarantined until I get back to Israel and can have my own computer guy delete what should be deleted and recover what should not be deleted.  Somehow I picked up a lot of stuff in my 2 weeks in Toronto that has been driving me crazy.

And I don't download stuff unless someone I know recommends it. Hence my willingness to try malwarebytes.
