Can't get rid of PriceFountain hijacking my browser with ads

I have looked all over my computer, in my registry, and in various places in Firefox and can't stop some company named PriceFountain from displaying huge ads at the top, bottom, and sometimes middle of this browser. It's really infuriating me! Can somebody please help?

Okay, one of the programs finally got rid of that thing! Whew. Don't know which one ... just the 3rd one I tried. I should've wrote it down in case PriceFountain comes back. Thanx for the tip, Scribe!
