Don&#8217;t write angry emails to the site you were browsing, the advertisements are almost certainly not coming from them, but from the adware on your machine. I&#8217;ll do my best to help you <strong>remove the get20i5prizes.com pop-up<\/strong> in this blog post.<\/p>\n<p>I found the get20i5prizes.com pop-up on one of the lab systems where I have some adware running. I&#8217;ve talked about this in some of the previous blog posts. The adware was installed on purpose, and from time to time I check if something new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the browsers, injected ads on website that usually don&#8217;t show advertisements, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.<\/p>\n<p>get20i5prizes.com was created on 2015-08-28. get20i5prizes.com resolves to 45.55.92.36. DomainTools says the following domains are located on the same IP:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>book-your-dea1s.com<\/li>\n<li>ecig-0ffers.net<\/li>\n<li>g0293.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, how do you <strong>remove the get20i5prizes.com pop-up ads<\/strong>? On the machine where I got the get20i5prizes.com ads I had <a title=\"Remove SmartComp Safe Network\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-jelbrus-secure-web-adware\/\">SmartComp Safe Network<\/a>, <a title=\"How To Remove mlwps.exe\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/library\/file\/mlwps.exe-174582\/\">Live Malware Protection<\/a>, <a title=\"Remove Windows Menager.exe\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/library\/file\/Windows%20menager.exe-196920\/\">Windows Menager<\/a> and gosearch.me 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 get20i5prizes.com pop-ups and all the other ads I was getting in Mozilla Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with pop-ups such as this one is that it can be initiated 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 solve the problem? To remove the get20i5prizes.com pop-up ads you need to review your system for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here&#8217;s my suggested removal procedure:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What software do you have installed if you look in the Add\/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel? Something that you don&#8217;t remember installing yourself or that was recently installed?<\/li>\n<li>You can also examine the add-ons you installed in your browsers. Same thing here, do you see anything that you don&#8217;t remember installing?<\/li>\n<li>If that did not help, I&#8217;d recommend a scan with <a title=\"Read more on FreeFixer here\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/about-freefixer\/\">FreeFixer<\/a> to manually track down the adware. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I&#8217;m working on that scans your computer at lots of locations, such as browser add-ons, processes, Windows services, recently modified files, etc. If you want to get additional details about a file in the scan result, you can click the More Info link for that file and a web page will open up with a <a title=\"How To Scan a File for Viruses with VirusTotal\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/scan-files-for-viruses-virustotal\/\">VirusTotal<\/a> report which will be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_2521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2521\" style=\"width: 604px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/freefixer-more-info-skype_setup.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2521 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/freefixer-more-info-skype_setup-1024x291.png\" alt=\"FreeFixer More Info link example\" width=\"604\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/freefixer-more-info-skype_setup-1024x291.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/freefixer-more-info-skype_setup-300x85.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/freefixer-more-info-skype_setup.png 1262w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example of FreeFixer&#8217;s &#8220;More Info&#8221; links.
