When browsing on Google, ads appear briefly then vanish, no matter what I search on. Is this a firefox 'settings' issue?

My Firefox is up to date, I dont have any ad blockers installed but we do have Kaspersky. Sometimes I want to see ads when I browse! I also want to see my own adwords to make sure they are running.

You might have a malicious browser add-on on your Mozilla. Have you tried resetting it or at least going thru your extensions and removing the ones that look suspicious?

If haven't, please, follow the manual removal here from this or similar sources: https://www.2-spyware.com/remove-mackeeper-pop-up-ads.html

Of course, MacKeeper ads is just an example, you should look for anything suspicious during your research.

Hi  !

Doesn't Kaspersky have a setting related to blocking ads  ? (like e.g. the 'Anti-Banner')

If so : would you please turn it off and see if that will make a difference  ?

Hey thanks for the feedback, I think it must have been some weird AdWords glitch as it has all reverted to normal today! I did nothing to fix it as I couldn’t find anything to fix. Thanks anyway

Thanks Josh, as above I think it must have been some weird AdWords glitch as it has all reverted to normal today! I did nothing to fix it as I couldn’t find anything to fix.
