When I click in the "search" box of www.avaxhome.ws to write a search term, many ads windows popup. I set Firefox to prevent popup window from showing by default. And Firefox shows a yellow bar on top of the page saying some popups are blocked. What should I do?

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
