Good program for dealing with malware

Good program for dealing with malware

I recently changed from Kapersky to Eset
During the 5 minutes of no antivirus , something has gotten on my PC

When I visit some websites, I will get a popup that states I have a virus and to call a number (3 different ph numbers)
I have searched the various numbers and they are all scams

Eset says I have no viruses
spybot finds no problems
I have downloaded Malwarebytes, it says I have no problems
I  have tried to use Ad Aware, but it wont update
Windows defender says I have no problem

Any suggestions?

Check your program list and see if a new program slipped in recently and remove it. Check the most recently installed programs.

superantispyware is also a very good anti-malware utility and it can remove unwanted apps.
Revo uninstaller is also very good at detecting unwanted programs.

some websites have pop ups that open new tabs in your browser. Some AV programs can assist with profiling these sites and they can block them. I use AVAST Free, and I don't have many issues.

Torrent sites and "News" sites are common sites used with the pop ups.

I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, the free version, works well.
