Somehow 'totaladblock.com' has become 'entangled' with my Firefox browser. When I am using Firefox it keeps coming up with messages inviting me take up offers to block adverts. These messages obscure what is on the screen: I can reject them but they come back in about 10 seconds. I have not been able to find a way of permanently eliminating them. Please Help. Regards, W. Nock

Web search; https://www.bing.com/search?q=remove+totaladblock.com


Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Make sure you know what each one is and what it does.


Remove “ totaladblock “ Anything.

Also remove SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock, DiscreteSearch, WebSearch, Findwide Search Engine, securedsearch

Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.

Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the Applications folder. Linux: Check your user manual.
