Hello, I have a new laptop computer which runs Windows 8. I run Fire Fox and I am getting barraged with ads, I have done the following to try to stop it: Installed ad blocker plus and adjusted it to max settings Installed and removed malware on the computer Refreshed Fire Fox

None of these seem to work, my desk top runs Windows 7 and has none of these problems. I am sending this from my desk top because my laptop is crawling with ads on almost every page.

What can be done to fox this?

Thank you

After installing AdblockPlus, did you add a filter list subscription? Or add your own block rule filters? Without filters Adblock Plus doesn't do anything. The filters are "everything".

Yes, I added several filter lists - still nothing

In that case it sounds like you picked up a dose of Malware, regardless of how new that laptop is.

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.

Sorry, I ran a full system sweep with MS Safety Scan and no malware to be found and still impaled with adds.

Google your troublesome My Web Search Plugin for information and third party removal advice.

Nothing too specific against them but you could later try disabling two of your other plug-ins - PlayNow Plugin Best Buy pc app Detector Plug-in
