If that is the case, you might have adware installed on your computer.

So don&#8217;t blame the people that owns the site you were at, the ads are probably not coming from that web site, but from the adware that&#8217;s running on your machine. I&#8217;ll do my best to help you with the <strong>reimageplus.com removal<\/strong> in this blog post.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been following this blog already know this, but if you are new: Not long ago I dedicated a few of my lab machines and wilfully installed a few adware programs on them. Since then I&#8217;ve been tracking the behaviour on these computers to see what kinds of ads that are displayed. I&#8217;m also looking on other interesting things such as if the adware auto-updates, or if it downloads and installs additional unwanted software on the machines. I first noticed the reimageplus.com pop-up on one of these lab machines.<\/p>\n<p>reimageplus.com was created on 2012-01-03. reimageplus.com resolves to the 198.61.250.104 address. There seems to be a few other domains resolving to the same IP:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>anti-toolbar.com<\/li>\n<li>efix.com<\/li>\n<li>efixtablet.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, how do you <strong>remove the reimageplus.com pop-up ads<\/strong>? On the machine where I got the reimageplus.com ads I had <a title=\"Remove BuyNSave and BrickProvider Adware\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-buynsave-and-brickprovider\/\">BuyNSave<\/a>, <a title=\"BrowserWarden Ads - Removal Instructions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-browser-warden\/\">BrowserWarden<\/a>, <a title=\"Remove Ads by CheckMeUp\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-ads-by-checkmeup\/\">CheckMeUp<\/a> and <a title=\"TinyWallet - Removal Instructions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-tinywallet\/\">TinyWallet<\/a> installed. I removed them with <a title=\"FreeFixer is freeware. More info and download link here\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/about-freefixer\/\">FreeFixer<\/a> and that stopped the reimageplus.com pop-ups and all the other ads I was getting in Mozilla Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>It seems as reimageplus.com is getting quite a lot of traffic, based on Alexa&#8217;s traffic rank:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/reimageplus.com-traffic-rank.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3498 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/reimageplus.com-traffic-rank.png\" alt=\"reimageplus.com traffic rank\" width=\"532\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/reimageplus.com-traffic-rank.png 532w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/reimageplus.com-traffic-rank-300x166.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>reimageplus.com has been increasing its traffic rank for the last year and is not at rank 330 which means it is getting a tremendous amount of traffic.<\/p>\n<p>The issue with pop-ups like the one described in this blog post is that it can be popped up by many variants of adware, not just the adware running on my machine. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the pop-ups.<\/p>\n<p>To remove the reimageplus.com pop-up ads you need to examine your machine for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here&#8217;s my suggested removal procedure:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Examine what programs you have installed in the Add\/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel. Do you see something that you don&#8217;t remember installing or that was recently installed?<\/li>\n<li>How about your add-ons you installed in your browsers. Anything in the list that you don&#8217;t remember installing?<\/li>\n<li>If that didn&#8217;t help, you can give <a title=\"Read more on FreeFixer here\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/about-freefixer\/\">FreeFixer<\/a> a try. FreeFixer is built to assist users when manually tracking down adware and other types of unwanted software. It is a freeware utility that I&#8217;ve been working since 2006 and it scans your machine at lots of locations where unwanted software is known to hook into your system.
