When I boot up my comp (windows 10, Home Edition), I’m getting pop-ups for my Brother printer. Ive had the printer for 2 or 3 years, and have used their “Brother iPrint&Scan” to run it since day one, but the pop-ups have only been happening for a few weeks.
They always have this text:
…and I always click “Don’t show this again”, but then I boot my computer up and it’s back.
Any way to kill it for good, without also killing the printer?
I took a screenshot of this same ad (at least I assume, for ink at a discount) a week ago when it popped up, as it might be useful (not ‘my’ printer, family), and then hit ‘don’t show again’ and have not seen it reappear. I have their Control Center 4 software installed, but not running on startup.
It was definitely weird but I gave it a pass as it has been the only time I’ve seen it or anything similar. I didn’t dig deeper into what program is/could be running/displaying it, so I don’t think I can be of help for that. But a data point.
That was also my experience, followed by visible disgust and a couple of virus scans. I’ll be only installing the most basic drivers once I phase out windows 10
