Ad blocker plus has recently ceased working to block most of the ad's. I can not find the version of adblocker that I am running. However, computer has been checked for malware - none was found. Running chrome: Version 53.0.2785.143 m. Already had ABP and then added Adblock and Tampermonkey, plus some filters to adblock plus:

None of this has worked. Pop-ups and malicious pop-ups that freeze chrome still keep coming in.
Examples:
malicious sites
It seems like Ad Blocker Plus has just stopped working, or is is that the writers of the pop-ups have found a way around blockers?
Assistance requested.
Thanks
Ad Blocker no longer blocking a lot of ads
Re: Ad Blocker no longer blocking a lot of ads
It's actually like playing whack-a-mole, everytime I think its sorted and sites are blocked it starts up again and doesn't end.
I'm now also having great difficulty shutting down Chrome if I get hijacked by malicious pop-ups that say I need tech support and wont let me get in to the history, or close tabs. So if anyone has a way of getting out of this it would be appreciated. I used to be able to shut down the computer and upon launching Chrome could close the tab if I caught it very quickly - it might have taken 2 or 3 tries but i was always able to get it, but even this isn't working anymore.

Re: Ad Blocker no longer blocking a lot of ads
You posted malicious sites.
If you get such crap whatever site you visit your system is infested by malware.
scan your system for malware / adware
use malwarebytes antimalware (free version) ==> https://www.malwarebytes.org/
and adwcleaner http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/
If instead you get those pages only for some sites / pages, report those pages here.

Re: Ad Blocker no longer blocking a lot of ads
Answer my question: it's about all the pages you visit or only some specific ?
What did you use to scan the system ?
