I was trying to download a MOV player from CNet (never again) and now I am stuck with Ads by Strong Signal popping up all the time. Searching the internet is say to go to Add/Remove and remove it but is not there. I ran Malwarebite and Spyboot but no luck. Please help. Thanks

Here is more information.

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

Adblock Plus {web link} Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable).

It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you into installing not only their program, but other programs as well. You have heard of the fine print in shady contracts, right? Well, some installers you need to look at the itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print. You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using the recommended option. But if you use the Manual Option Instead, you discover all kinds of stuff that you do not even know what it is or what it does. From now on, everyone needs to Use The Manual Option to put a stop to this.
