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?

It is likely that your machine has been infected with malware that might be causing these popups to be displayed. Can you please check to see if this needs to be addressed first, before we are able to to troubleshoot this issue.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

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

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
