I am on firefox and for some reason I have started getting annoying coupon drop down adverts and my virgin emails and items I am watching on ebay have certain words highlighted in blue, when I place my mouse over them it is another advert for coupon drop down. I have googled it and it said that I must of picked up the programme via something else so I have uninstalled it from my add ons! But I am still getting the same problem, please help before I tear my hear out. i am also getting annoying boxes springing up saying I have won such and such a thing argh!!!!

Download and install Malware Bytes.

Scan the computer - then before you remove whatever it finds, turn off System Restore - as some nasties will reinstLl themselves from Restore points.

Restar the computer, scan again and then when clean, turn back on System Restore.

Hi Tuvok I installed Malware Bytes and ran a scan yesterday, but didn't turn off system restore, cheers will try that
I had these recently, messing up a news site. First I removed a lot of junk cookies, but the annoying ads continued. I noticed that there was a recent Add-on called FreeHDSportTV. I disabled this, closed Firefox and then restarted it. The problem went away!
