How to remove spyware/adware/etc from my computer?
The symptom is random new windows appearing as I use firefox. One of the pages that will open is a google jobs ad, another is a victorias secret ad and another is a facebook zoosk ad.
I've tried using spybot search and destroy and it has not fixed the problem. Another symptom possibly unrelated is a hotebar.com opening up in a separate tab upon firefox starting. If anyone has any tips on what I can do that would be great. Thanks. Ads |

Run a full scan with Malwarebytes also.
if pop ups keep appearing: firefox - functions - third folder check Block pop ups Therafter feel free to install HijackThis, and send me a log. |
