Is it normal to still get some ad popup's? (Quick quesiton, I hope!)

Since this has nothing to do with my thread (in other section, about the virus I have) I posted it here... because... This is a question I've had for a long time.

I use FireFox... & when I go to sites that have multiple ads to popup... FF will block a couple... but then another will pop up.

Is this normal? If not... is it something I need to wait to get results back on my Malware submission?

Or do I need some type of firewall or additional security??

I've had this problem / question long before my computer got a virus... & the same thing happens on my hubby's computer along with other friends & relatives... That's why I want to know if it's normal to still get some popups??

Just thought I'd ask. (I didn't see it asked anywhere else.)

Thanks, LH! :cool

 

No program is absolutely infallible. Sometimes things do slip by.
Occasionally it gets past your defenses because it is a legitimate piece of the site,rather than some third-party add-on.
I wouldn't worry too much unless it becomes excessive or about some sites from the "wrong side of the tracks".

 

I thought that might be...

Though... the ads that pop up are things like NetFlix or other things like that. (That's the one that I remember, because it's the one that pops up the most after FF has sent a message saying it's blocked at least 1 already!)

Thanks for the insight! Much appreciated!
