Looks like the popup ads have stopped. I will continue to monitor. I appreciate your help.

Thanks

Yes, surf around a day or so and then report back to me, I will then post final steps for you to follow.

Well, I have been surfing around and now notice a new problem. I am not sure if the same issue that is causing this problem.

Whats happening is I am getting displaying of ads with the message "Ads not by this Site". Ads are popping up a lot so this is making wed surfing very difficult.

Let me know what steps I should take.

Just to be clear, which browser(s) does this occur in?

rodbhi · Oct 18, 2013

This was occurring in Firefox.

We are going to be uninstalling your old version of FireFox and installing the new version. (Except we will use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall.) So do the below to save bookmarks:

Run FireFox and click Bookmarks.

Then select Organize Bootmarks.

Then on the next window click File and then select Export. Save the bookmarks.html file to your Desktop for later use in importing.

Now download and save the installer for the current version of FireFox but DO NOT install it yet. Get it here: Mozilla FireFox

You will need exit FireFox now and use Internet Explorer to continue with the below until we reinstall FireFox.

Start by uninstalling FireFox and then reboot. Do not skip the reboot.
After reboot, delete the below folders:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox

C:\users\UserAccount\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

where UserAccount is the actual user account name being used.

Now reinstall FireFox from the file previously downloaded.
Import your bookmarks file. (similar process to exporting).
