I have a laptop that I got from someone who attended Everest University, which is an online college. Ever since they graduated, there have been these pop-ups that open in Internet Explorer which say "refer a friend" or "re-enroll". It's quite annoying. I have seen on other forums that this has something to do with Computrace and that it is baked into the UEFI/BIOS, but no one knows how to remove it.

I was hoping that the problem would go away after I upgraded to Windows 10. It didn't. The popups only ever open in Internet Explorer though, even in windows 10.
