When I open Mozilla, an advert pops up, instead of my home page. I have installed ad bloc, so no other adverts pop up, but when I open Mozilla, the random adverts that look like a virus (about winning i-phones etc) are always there. I have scanned my PC for viruses, and it says it has no viruses. I've also checked my control panel, and I have no programmes that seem unfamiliar or that I have there for a specific purpose. I have also refreshed my Firefox, and the problem is still there. I have checked add-ons as well, and there is only Ad Bloc.
