How do I delete Positive Finds adware from Firefox?

Malwarebytes doesn't see it, nor does AVG. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, but that didn't help either. I have removed Java, Flash Player, and Shockwave Player from my PC, but still the bugger pops up.

I am running Windows 7, 64 bit, with all the updates. Is it time for a Mac?

Getting a Mac isn't the answer, they are being targeted now.
