In fact, it's a common type of online attack in which scammers try to trick you into installing adware and PUP. Even though, the gip.driverdiv.net site seems to be pretty new, this unethical marketing scheme to say the least isn't new at all. The adware is designed to display pop-up ads with almost every click in Chrome, Firefox or Interner Explorer. Ads may appear when you open a new tab as well. Very often, this adware infection leads to unwanted sluggish performance. This adware installs registry information that loads during computer start up. As you probably know, when too many programs are running at one time, your computer's operating system may seem slow or sluggish.
Once you've made the determination your computer has adware or PUP, the most painless way to begin is to download and run recommended anti-malware program. If you still see popups, or suspect adware is still hiding out on your computer, I recommend following the removal guide below. Last, but not least, reinstalling your web browser won't help you this time. This infection is way too complex, therefore doing so almost certainly won't fix your adware and pop-up problems. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. I will gladly answer them. Good luck and be safe online!
