When I open Firefox, my default browser on my Mac, it opens 2 screens and one of then has all sorts of adds and things I never asked for. My Malware says there is nothing wrong but something is definitely wrong.

What is your malware program?

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

Hi. I appreciate your help. I did bring up Firefox in Safe Mode but the same thing happened. My Malware program is Malwarebytes Premium 3.6.21.

Did you check out any of the other programs?
