Question

posted by pssmall 5 months ago

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

also go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.

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.
