Or did the super-promo.elds.info pop-up show up while you clicked a link on one of the major search engines, such as Google, Bing or Yahoo?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/super-promo.elds_.info-pop-up.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7654\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/super-promo.elds_.info-pop-up.png\" alt=\"super-promo.elds.info pop up\" width=\"470\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/super-promo.elds_.info-pop-up.png 470w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/super-promo.elds_.info-pop-up-300x96.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you also see this on your computer, you presumably have some adware installed on your computer that pops up the super-promo.elds.info ads. So there&#8217;s no idea contacting the owner of the site you currently were browsing. The ads are not coming from them. I&#8217;ll do my best to help you with the <strong>super-promo.elds.info removal<\/strong> in this blog post.<\/p>\n<p>Those that have been following this blog already know this, but here we go: A little while back I dedicated some of my lab machines and purposely installed some adware programs on them. Since then I&#8217;ve been following the behaviour on these machines to see what kinds of advertisements that are displayed. I&#8217;m also looking on other interesting things such as if the adware updates itself automatically, or if it installs additional unwanted software on the machines. I first spotted the super-promo.elds.info pop-up on one of these lab machines.<\/p>\n<p>lgxzz.super-promo.elds.info, which you can see in the screenshot above, resolves to 50.17.201.81 and so does super-promo.elds.info. super-promo.elds.info was created on 2015-04-11.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you <strong>remove the super-promo.elds.info pop-up ads<\/strong>? On the machine where I got the super-promo.elds.info ads I had <a title=\"Remove Movie Wizard Adware From Small Island Development\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-movie-wizard-adware-from-small-island-development\/\">Movie Wizard<\/a>, <a title=\"istartsurf.com - How Did It Install On Your Machine\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/how-istartsurf-com-installed\/\">istartsurf<\/a> and <a title=\"Remove videosMediaPlayersversion2.1 and videosMediaPlayersv2.2 Ads\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-videosmediaplayersversion2-1-videosmediaplayerv2-2-ads\/\">MedPlayerNewVersion<\/a> installed. I removed them with <a title=\"About FreeFixer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/about-freefixer\/\">FreeFixer<\/a> and that stopped the super-promo.elds.info pop-ups and all the other ads I was getting in Mozilla Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>The issue with pop-ups like this one is that it can be popped up by many variants of adware, not just the adware that&#8217;s installed on my machine. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the pop-ups.<\/p>\n<p>So, what can be done? To remove the super-promo.elds.info pop-up ads you need to review your computer for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here&#8217;s my suggested removal procedure:<\/p>\n<p>The first thing I would do to <strong>remove the super-promo.elds.info pop-ups<\/strong> is to examine the programs installed on the machine, by opening the &#8220;Uninstall programs&#8221; dialog. You can reach this dialog from the Windows Control Panel. If you are using one of the more recent versions of Windows you can just type in &#8220;uninstall&#8221; in the Control Panel&#8217;s search field to find that dialog:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-search.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2849\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-search.png\" alt=\"Uninstall a program search\" width=\"471\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-search.png 471w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-search-300x102.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click on the &#8220;<strong>Uninstall a program<\/strong>&#8221; link and the Uninstall programs dialog will open up:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-dialog.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2853\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-dialog.png\" alt=\"Uninstall a program dialog\" width=\"356\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-dialog.png 356w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-dialog-300x245.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Do you see something strange-looking in there or something that you don&#8217;t remember installing? Tip: Sort on the &#8220;<strong>Installed On<\/strong>&#8221; column to see if some program was installed about the same time as you started observing the super-promo.elds.info pop-ups.<\/p>\n<p>Then you can examine you browser add-ons. Adware often appear under the add-ons menu in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari or Opera. Is there anything that looks suspicious? Something that you don&#8217;t remember installing?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Firefox-add-ons-manager.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2927 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Firefox-add-ons-manager-300x190.png\" alt=\"Firefox add-ons manager\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Firefox-add-ons-manager-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Firefox-add-ons-manager.png 460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I think most users will be able to find and uninstall the adware with the steps outlined above, but in case that did not work you can try the <a title=\"Read more on FreeFixer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/about-freefixer\/\">FreeFixer removal tool<\/a> to identify and remove the adware. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I started develop about 8 years ago. Freefixer is a tool designed to manually track down and uninstall unwanted software. When you&#8217;ve found the unwanted files you can simply tick a checkbox and click on the Fix button to remove the unwanted file.<\/p>\n<p>FreeFixer&#8217;s removal feature is not locked like many other removal tools out there. It won&#8217;t require you to pay for the program just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re having issues deciding if a file is clean or unwanted in the FreeFixer scan result, click on the <strong>More Info<\/strong> link for the file. That will open up your web browser with a page which contains additional information about the file.
