If you clicked on ''install JAVA'' then it's no wonder your computer will get infected. A good tip: Never ''install'' or ''update'' anything that comes in a dubious pop-up tab. It's fake, malicious and a threat.
Fake adds can inject a malicious code and install some malware or trojan in your computer, even without you noticing it's doing.
That's why I choosed to remove the displaying of ads altogether from my browser by using an extension. Might be a drastic approach but they have become a real plague for the Internet and a source of potential malicious threat which I now prefer to avoid.
System Restore is not the magic pill you think it is. If you have a virus, you have to go to the doctor. Its not gonna right itself on its own.

RonaldJosephCote, that's exactly why I am running a complete scan with Panda Antivirus? Did you get to read this part?

Thanks, eehc.
Is Panda anti-virus one of those freebies ?? There are false positives in pregnancies, drug screens, and anti-viruses. There's 9 million people on this site. Are you the only one who's getting re-directed to updooring.com ?? What do you do when your not on this site ?? Do you play a lot of games, chat rooms, porn ?? We had a member once who had 7 anti-virus programs once, and you guessed it, they were all the free kinds.

Problem solved: I ran Panda Antivirus and Panda Cloud Cleaner and they managed to solve the problem. It wasn't more than a trojan. Thanks for the ones who tried to help.

You might want get Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to support your Antivirus. It's totally free and very efficient. Antivirus can be helpful but they are not good against malware. To me, it is a must.
It is with great sorrow that I realized that malwarebytes did not solve the problem. It seemed to have done it, but things "got back to normal". Does anybody have other suggestions on how to dodge this bug?
Bugs are soooo sophisticated these days. It could be designed to effect PC's and servers in one country.
Well, restore windows to an earlier point didn't solve in my case too. malwarebytes so far solved the problem. Or use Firefox because the problem only happened in Chrome. Strange thing is that this only happened with Brazilian!

To my friends from Brazil still experiencing the problem: I'd recommend running for FREE the Panda Cloud Cleaner program, available at this page:

Qualquer coisa, me avisem! Boa sorte!

Well, if Malwarebytes didn't get the job done, then I wouldn't mess around; I'd go to Bleepingcomputer.com. But first I'd suggest you do a little reading. The Bleepingcomputer site is good, and so is the Krebs on Security site. You'll learn quite a bit just by perusing those two sites periodically. Here's some links to hit:

So buy an Apple/Mac and avoid most of this sort of junk?
Not sure why one should put 1000$ into a small 11'' laptop (ad that's the least expensive model) when you could just keep your average PC and install Linux, a free and open-source operating system instead of Windows.
OSx is not ''more secure'' than Windows, it's just not as targeted. Security through obscurity some call it. At any rate, it won't stop adds and pop-ups from disturbing your chess experience, that has to do with your browser and the displaying of web pages, regardless of your operating system. There are browser extension that ''block'' adds and that has proven to be the best solution for many web users, may it may on Windows, Linux, Mac or Android.

Well, the worst thing one can do is normally run the computer in administrator mode. You need to normally run in limited user mode and only use admin mode for updates, patches, installing new software, etc. (Unfortunately, Windows defaults to admin mode, so you have to make a conscious effort to switch to regular user mode.)
Also, running with Java or flash player (and to a lesser extent, Javascript) in the browser is sort of asking for trouble.
"Does anyone else has the same problem? I can't play at chess.com anymore because everytime I'm in a game a new window pops in my Google Chrome with this fake message telling me that I need to reinstall Java."
me every now and then sort of redirected to the mf cuttheprice adware. i would cut the throat of the busturds who did this to me. trying to kill the bug manually as said here http://malwareprotectioncenter.com/2015/07/31/cuttheprice/
Get Ublock Origin, Disconnect ad blocker and you should be fine

I am experiencing the same "update firefox" issue. I don't know if it is malware...I run malware bytes frequently and there aren't any threats, but I guess that doesn't mean that malware isn't the cause per se. I think that it is due to an ad, although it seems to trigger somewhat randomly. It should help to note that it will happen the instant that I click somewhere on the page, even if it is not on an ad. Also, it only happens on chess.com. I am going to contact their support page, but if anyone else has any helpful info I would appreciate it.
Although there is a new version of Firefox out recently, that sure doesn't sound like a legitimate Firefox update notice. You need to investigate further.
Well, I started to run a complete verification with my Panda antivirus but I wasn't patient enough to let it finish... When it was around 40% done I decided to stop the process and to restore my Windows 7 again and this time to an even older restoration point. By that moment, Panda has managed to find and remove a suspicious file hidden in old backups I had in my computers' other drives. What he found was that: Trj/NsisDownloader.A
Anyway, as I said, I stopped the verification by Panda, restored my Windows 7 and tried again running Google Chrome. I didn't try to visit Chess.com this time. As soon as Google Chrome started I noticed a download's failure warning, even without any attempt on my side to download anything. The "thing" that was trying to download itself goes by the name of "". Fortunately, the download wasn't successful.
Until now, I am not experiencing any trouble whatsoever, but I decided to run Panda's verification until the end this time.
If Panda kills "it", I'll let you know.
