When I rise on yahoo or facebook one window of the investigation on persistent organic pollutants and blocks everything I do, what can I do?

whenever the browser now opens, it opens to yahoo where a popup lights and say you are selected for a prize with a value of at least $50, if you take a short survey. It crashes me to do anything. same thing when I go to facebook but no other site. its boring so I'm back to using internet explore where this does not happen. I delete firefox and restored the latest version - same problem. Help please!

I suspect that a bad add-on generates pop-ups. This is my procedure suggested to track down and cleaning of the bad modules. Sorry for the length - it is not as bad as it sounds:

(1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

(2) open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

Any improvement?

(3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

Success?
