What adblock plus misses ghostery does not. What is probably happening is when you restart your pc the malware starts again because it has an executable file that keeps re executing itself when you turn your pc on. It is very annoying. I used to run malware program and manually remove the executable file. It is always found in system 32 file. When you run the malware program look for anything that is located in system 32 and manually delete them all. Sonovabich 1

Keeps lots of people in work I presume, but look how complicated it was to start in safe mode, oh for the good old days of dos Sonovabich and Angelz 2

The only thing that I didn't like was when firefox stopped supporting java. I had to use the browser pale moon for that. I have gone through what you just went through when I download programs off sites that were not the home sites. Googling the program I want and clicking on the 1st site on the list. Now I look for the home site of what I want. Did you download firefox from the mozilla website? That search the web looks like it came from a something you downloaded and it installed when you installed the program you downloaded. I do not know if w10 supports it but ccleaner will delete that link. Edited June 6, 2018 by Angelz

I have had Firefox installed for over a year, the only thing i can think of was the adblocker when i put adblock plus on the other day another one came on with it called pop up blocker or something like that and that's what was causing the problems but if you Google it you will see that this is getting to be a common problem with Firefox being taken over by Yahoo, look at link below. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=when+i+install+firefox+it+keeps+putting+yahoo+on+instead&oq=when+i+install+firefox+it+keeps+putting+yahoo+on+instead&aqs=chrome..69i57.14754j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Edited June 6, 2018 by Sonovabich

This malware is ranging from Ransomware, to Trojans, to various adware bundles. The Bundles were really really bad and very hard to get rid of. It would automatically download and install all kinds of shit infested addons and toolbars on your computer without your permission. I don't give a flying shit if they went legit or not. I will NEVER trust that one. Ramistar 1 Awards
