Strange pop ups in origin

★★ Novice

So starting today weirdly I had a strange pop-up in origin on a regular basis regarding some sort of prize to be won concerning questions answered. This occured at the same time as an apparent virus took control of windows defender. I managed to delete the registry items preventing this and ran a scan to no result. I thin ran antispyware and discovered nothing regarding origin. The pop-ups continued, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall origin but it still occurs.

 

This thing lists itself as "membership rewards" and it seems very much like a virus.

 

Does anyone know what this is?

Given that this began to occur after you saw a virus infect your PC @Starbuck827 then I would assume it is linked to the virus. Best thing to do is go ahead and do a deep scan of your system to ensure that the virus is fully removed. It may be worth using Ccleaner to completely remove Origin from your system.
