AdblockerPlus to update, but I still get ads

I get a lot of ads recently, even though AdblockerPlus is up-to-date on my browser.

When I click on certain links, a second, more small window containing ads opens behind the one I use. There is no model I see as to what sites trigger the popup - it seems random. It happens whenever I click on a link.

When I load a page from a retail site, a side bar appears on the right. It is said 'Hot Deals!' and then lists several other retailers where I could buy the same or similar product. No matter how many times I close, if I go to another page on the side or do a search, it opens again.

There is often a bar at the bottom of the screen with even more ads.

I check my extensions and Adblocker Plus seems up to date. It does not update me.

System: Computer Acer laptop
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, SP 1
Firefox version 28.0
AdblockerPlus: 2.5.1. Last update was on Feb. 25.

Thank you!

You can check the suspicious extensions or recently installed unknowns.

Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.

Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.

All of these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.
