Why do I get all these stupid ads only on this computer?
Why do I get all these stupid ads only on this computer?

I never get these ads on my laptop (which is getting fixed right now) or on the school's computers, and this desktop didn't used to have them. I removed all the extra toolbars and things that I thought might cause it and went to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions and disabled/uninstalled everything I could. THEY ARE STILL THERE.

They show up as this little magnifying glass looking thing over every image on a page, such as on Tumblr, and when you wave over the image (such as, to click on a youtube vid) it takes you to the advertiser's site. As well, there are adds running alongside youtube videos that i am watching (not the ones in the video that precede the video) that MAKE SOUND WHILE I AM LISTENING TO MY VIDEO.

(I've also gone to CONTROL PANEL and uninstalled all the extra toolbars).

Please. help. How do I get rid of these stupid things????????? It's really hard to do anything on this computer.

Go to applications and download addblock, It will totally remove all of your ads, on most common pages.
