I typically visit newspaper sites, Yahoo, TWC and others, I am bombarded with pop-up ads top, bottom and both sides of the screen. Sometimes they block the information. Many do not have "X" in the corners and often they jump to their site if I click by mistake. This is a fairly recent issue maybe a month old but seems to be getting worse or my patience is wearing! Any insight would be appreciated.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of (What is? LyricXeeker).

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.


Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
