I am having a problem with pop up http://lax1.ib.adnxs.com How do I stop it or remove this..is it a Firefox issue? My antivirus and malware won't stop it.
I have run many scans, uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but I continue to get these popups from this same address.....it's very annoying. I have noticed others on the web are having the same issue. Please advise.. pssmall

It's definitely not a Firefox issue. You need to uninstall adware that displays these popups, see this:

There's also this great utility called AdwCleaner which I think may help you too.
