Hello,
Hi,
I'm facing a problem every time I visit a streaming site, an ad automatically pops up saying "your Mac has 3 porn viruses, please download MacKeeper," and it showed my IP address and my city.
So I'm a bit stressed, but it's become a bit annoying. How can we fix this? I've tried Adware Medic and ClamXAv, but it still persists.
Configuration: Mac OS X (10.10) / Firefox 38.0

Hello,
This is an unhealthy ad. AdwareMedic removes unhealthy ad extensions when they are installed, but does not prevent the viewing of pop-up ads.
Do not install MacKeeper, which is garbage, and install an ad blocker like Adblock or Adblock Plus.

And definitely avoid dubious sites, like Softonic, and all illegal streaming or downloading sites.
