Why do I recieve mackeeper popups when I have pop ups blocked already? Is Mac-keeper really malware?

I have cookies blocked and pop ups blocked, but am still getting bombarded with pop ups, especially that most annoying mackeeper. How do I stop the insanity?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
So I have my safari settings to block pop ups but something must have messed with my computer because i get pop ups now more than ever?

How did I receive a MacKeeper popup in Safari when have "block popups" checked in Safari preferences?

I have a macbook air that I just bought last year and I think I have malware. I have popups whenever I click on ANYTHING in any browser that I have tried. The most common popup is this mackeeper page. I've tried to follow to uninstall instructions but I can't even find that I have ever installed it in my applications or downloads or anywhere. I have tried to delete almost everything on my laptop and everything I have ever downloaded.

I seem to have a bit of an issue on my MacBook Pro with pop-ups. I use Google Chrome and I thought this was a Chrome issue. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it, but when I used Safari to re-install, I had pop-ups come up on Safari, so it isn't a Chrome issue.
I am unsure if this is a Java plug-in issue or what, but I'm getting pop-ups everywhere and I do work quite a lot on my MacBook. I keep getting pop-ups such as MacKeeper, Purifier, EuroMillionaire, etc. I noticed I had MacKeeper and removed it. I will admit, I was working rapidly on Friday afternoon and I think I may have disabled Java or something. I am not sure how to go to the settings and adjust this.
How I can erase this. I've had this MacBook since late 2008 and haven't had this issue. I am on OS X 10.9.5 if that matters.

I have a mac book pro, and Mackeeper was downloaded on it somehow. Now every time I open Safari, or a new tab in it, there is a pop-up (even though I've blocked pop-ups). Im pretty sure I've deleted the program, although why am I still getting these pop-ups??

I have owned and worked on Apple computers for many years and never had any issues with any type of viruses or pop-ups and now I do. I cannot think of anything I did but now anytime I open a new Tab or do something on a web page new tabs immediately open.URL....Also, when I open other sites like Snapfish I get these pop-ups on the top and bottom of the website.

My cursor is poping up with inappropriate dialog boxes containing things like Facebook, Groupon, Apple computer, Google and other company names, even some in chinese characters. Behaves the same as other popups when you linger over over an active point on a page - eg. 'insert table' and dissappears after a few seconds. Doesn't seem malicious but is extremely annoying and perplexing.
Thought I had a virus and installed Norton which found and removed a Trojon.Sasfis virus which I thought had fixed the problem but it has returned.

I have turned off third party extensions. I have made sure I had the correct version of adobe flash player. I have blocked popup windows

I think I got infected when downloading a torrent ap--now deleted, but the problem persists. Basically every time I click on anything (even on reputable sites, I get ridiculous popups and ads that should not be there. The internet tells me that my MacBook pro has been infected with malware.

I accidentally clicked on a link in an email from a friend and was taken to a website which is obviously a scam. "Work from Home..." I have tried lots of things to get rid of it but it won't go away and won't let me do anything else with Safari. Do I have malware? How do I get rid of it?

Well I think the title just about covers my problems! Didn't think I'd have so much trouble having forked out for a Mac!

I have recently discovered that on safari, on certain websites such as bbc.co.uk, there are words that are highlighted in green and underlined. Everytime i click on a 'green word' it takes me to some kind of pop-up style website that looks pretty dodgy. Also it happens on google chrome. My computer is running a tad slower, but nothing out of the ordinary. I fear something may have downloaded by accident via the internet.

Have you ever selected dozens or hundreds of files hoping to get info "collectively" -- namely the cumlulative size -- but Mac OS starts an unstoppable avalanche of pop-ups for each and every one and you panic and eventually give in and let a billion popups tile across your monitor for an hour, like so many coats of digital paint, or just hard power-off your computer.

The most annoying part though is that whenever I click on ANYTHING, whether it be a link or a field to fill in, it takes me to various "mac cleaner" websites. I haven't downloaded any of those sites, yet it's started happening in the last day and appears to be getting worse. There are also random ads appearing on every website I go to, that never appeared before. For example, at the google home page, there are now random ads all over the bottom of it.
I have tried to manage my cookies and pop ups, I've deleted chrome and reinstalled it again, I have restarted my computer, nothing seems to be working! I've tried all three of my web browsers - safari, chrome and firefox, and they all do the same thing.

I don't know if anyone can help me with this, but for the past week or so, I've been getting weird popups when going to sites like nytimes.com, macrumors.com, cnet.com, google.com, and other perfectly safe sites that say something along the lines of "This site may harm your computer." And then when I click "Ignore" I get another popup that says are you sure, and I can't get out of the popup, and then I have to quit Safari.
I'm wondering if I have some kind of trojan or something like that. I'll get a screenshot next time it happens.
My screen is jammed with unwanted pop ups when I open Safari. They persist whether I close and reopen Safari, restart the computer, oe shut down overnight.

I have an iOS X10.9.3.
Lately I have too many popup on my safari browser windows and even separate popup windows open when I click to continue my search.
I have even an warning message: "you have excessive popups. Windows have been infected. Please call 1-855-617-0709".
What should I do?
I have been having an issue with spam pop ups when searching on the internet.
I have ran malware checkers and no issues have been found. What I can do stop this from happening?
