Pop-up blocker is enabled - to no avail whatsoever - what can I do?
Whenever I open Firefox, a secondary website pops up uninvited. The popup blocker is 'on'. This is irritating and uninvited. How can I stop this? I regularly run Ccleaner and Spybot - as well as Eset, and appear to have np spy/malware on my desktop computer. Please help. Thanks, Anni
