    Yes, I downloaded Total AdBlocker and it tells me that it blocked 14 Ads. Unfortunately, some still pop up in Firefox.

    Hi,

    Lets run a quick malware scan to make sure you don't have any threats on your system.

    Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.
    • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
    • At the end, be sure to uncheck Enable free trial of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro. Make sure Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is checked, then click Finish to close the setup wizard.
    • When Malwarebytes Anti-Malware opens on the Dashboard section, next to the Database version area click on the Update Now button to allow Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to download the latest database version.
    • Once the latest database version has finished loading, select the Scan section, then make sure Threat Scan is selected then click Start Scan.
    • When the scan is completed, be sure that everything is checked, then click the Quarantine All button to remove the items.
    • Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will ask you to reboot the computer to complete the removal process. Select Yes to reboot the computer.
    • After the removal process completes, a Malwarebytes log will open in Notepad.
    • If asked, post the results of the scan in your next reply.
    After Malwarebytes has finished running, open up Firefox and click on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner and click on Add-ons and themes and post a screenshot of the add-ons that you have installed in Firefox in your next reply.
