So, there is that adds that shows up randomly on every page, and its just basically blank window tha takes almost the whole screen, it says ActiveCoupon , I dont have any add-on nor installed such a thing! It also shows adds on some words such as " BUY" "TRADE" etc etc and its really annoying me as hell, i dont know how to remove it, but if i cant i'll probably change to opera or firefox ( by the way, which browser uses the less memory ?)

Firefox
Opera
IE(not gonna use it! just in extreme cases!)
other(pls add in answers)

Please don't even say that O-word again. Get Firefox and some useful addons you like (Adblock for starters and maybe a thing called BluHell firewall) plus a nice looking theme. It'll be 10 billion times better. Also, your issue sounds like adware or a virus. There's a free program called superantispyware that you might want to get and have run a scan. I've had it get rid of things for me several times.

So you did not remove everything... Switching to Firefox, Opera, IE, Whatever won't help you in this case.

Switching browsers isn't going to fix your problem though, a little bit of googling shows that you most likely have a piece of adware installed, not just an unwanted extension. Try the steps at a site like this one

e: programs like these tend to self perpetuate, if you removed it once but its still there then try removing it and any other suspicious programs you may have gotten recently in safe mode.

I had one of the adwares on my PC, showed ads on every page, even Imgur, it was weird, found the program in the list, uninstalled and everything is fine

actually just had. tried to install something and it bumped some unwanted malwares
go to your programs in windows and uninstall some crap
don't remember the name, but try and think when you got it, and sort the installations by date

if you link a pic of the programs i'll tell you which one

oh, and i think i tried to install Odin for flashing roms, and i got something wrong instead.

Opera is based on the chrome engine, so they are pretty much alike.
