Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

 

I can not seem to remove the virus that tries to make me do a fake java update download.  

 

I ran malwarebytes, did a scan with mcafee even tried spybot search and destroy.  I uninstalled all suspicious programs.  I checked my google chrome extensions, add ons in internet explorer. ... etc  

 

 

I have not accepted the download of course but these pop ups are driving me mad.  any ideas on how i can get rid of this crap?
