How do I block all pages from Russia (.ru)?
After my misstake to download a file from a, as I realised, faked Windows message (Re Image something...) I get loads of pop ups with russian blonds and all kinds of sex stuff... I uninstalled the program and did a full scan with F-secure (didn´t find anything) but I still get the crap on my screen so ofcourse the russians left something. How do I get rid of it? I have no plans reading any russian in the future so I thought the easiest way is to block all pages that ends with .ru. But you may have a better solution? (I do not know alot about computers as you already understand...) To be clear: I have nothing against the russian people - I just don´t want these pages!
Best regard Ami

Hi, You just need to click open menu on right most side of screen where you will found option button with wheel type image,Click on that Now in opened panel , go to to security and click on exception key at right must corner (The 1st one). paste the link or web address (found in address bar) from which you are disturbed.Click on allow. It will now block that site automatically. but there is no way to block all address with a domain (Ex .ru) YOU HAVE TO BLOCK SITES 1 BY 1. THANKS
Thank you, but doesn´t that do the complete opposite of what I need? It allows the pasted sites to install addons...
Then you need to get help from your Internet security programme like quick-heal because in those apps there should an option, you can block sites from there. for more help , please mail me with name of your computer's internet security name. Thanks.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Thank you!!
The BlockSite does block .ru and all other unwanted sites so far :).
But the empty tabs that pops up stays on the screen ... - I guess people are working on that problem. I read that I´m not the only one annoyed. The scanning for malware has still not resulted in any findings. Have a nice day!
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
