I continue to get various pop up ads (Ads from Storm Alerts) from the same (apparent) source, but I suspect this is malware. I've run various programs (Malwarebytes and ADBlocker plus) but cannot prevent this. What is it and how do I get rid of it? John

You can check for suspicious extensions in Firefox and other recently installed software in the Windows Control Panel > Programs.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
