Flashing adverts appear all over my screen and move around when I am on the internet. How do I get rid of them? I am a simple user and do not understand technical jargon. Please help in simple English. Thank you.

hello bethbaby, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malicious software on your pc.

please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).

also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
