since last night I have been getting two asian pop up adds everytime I open firefox, Ive run two virus scans and a cleaner but it is still happening, what else can I do?
Since last night, every time I open Firefox I get two asian pop up ads.
I can only see the URL of one of the ads it is: http://hqyl268.154.99lm.info/
The other one is for an asian porn site.
Last night was the first time it has ever happened. Ive done two scans of my computer and even used a cc cleaner and its still happening every single time I open firefox

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

If using the above listed scanners do not fix it then ask advice on one of the forums that specialize in malware removal mentioned in the Popups_not_blocked article.
Thank you so much:) I did all of the above and got rid of whatever it was!
