I'll echo the earlier post noting Firefox does well for this Forum. I'm on an older XP and older IE doesn't always cut it.
If I do get prompted for a Flash install (or any) I run away, including hard powering down my machine if I get caught in some looping ad. Grrrr. Often you can back-button out. When I do install Flash, I go to Adobe directly, never a third party and I don't click on any ads. Rather, if they're a legit vendor being referred to, I just go direct to their site. I posted a web address the other day and the sales site put cookies into visitors' cache. Ever session I browse ends with running CC Cleaner utility my IT guys like--downloads.com has it. It wipes all temp files off the machine after a browse. Lotta megs of 'em. Seems to help blow out all sticky stuff. Bookmarks are left alone. I stay away from all add-on tool bars and such and when installing new legit software, I watch out for "add this" software they pitch during the install. I've had ad-landen stuff added when I wasn't watching too close. Real PITA. I've had decent luck with Malwarebytes and AVG. Have run Kaspersky well too. IT IS WELL WORTH RUNNING ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE, PAID SOFTWARE. Even some of these have gotten a little bloated but better than nuttin'.

You guys with the problem haven't said what you're using. My bet is that you're using Internet Exploder as your browser and you aren't running good malware and anti-virus programs.
I'm on Win 7, Firefox 26.0 with AdBlocker Plus, and the free versions of Avast! and Malwarebytes. No problems. Anywhere. Anytime. Ever. |

I use Firefox and am running only Microsoft Security Essentials. No other anti-malware or anti-virus needed. I've been problem free for years.

Internet Exploder seems to be the common thread (as suspected.)
Recently, there have been a lot of similar problems for people trying to internet on smart phones. Another problem-porous platform. |
