Scorpion Saver... "Infection" is epidemic in our area

I'm encountering a lot of Scorpion Saver infections.  Scorpion Saver is technically not a virus, and it generally doesn't get caught by antivirus programs; however, it is certainly a nuisance, if not incapacitating.  You don't want it on your computer.  So, if you are experiencing a lot of unusual ads popping up, even with the popup setting on your browser set, you may have Scorpion Saver.

It may be my imagination, but this problem seems to be especially prevalent in computers whose users use AOL as their email provider.  You know I am not a fan of AOL; in fact, I am enthusiastic proponent of not using AOL.  This is one reason.

In my opinion,Scorpion Saver is real malware and you need to get rid of it.  A good writeup on how to do it is found here.  Please review that web page, which has a good description of what an infection looks like as well as how to remove it.
