how to get rid of mallware
I keep have annoying mallware buttons popping up in the webpages. I've tried everything; Reseting Firefox, deleting history, deleting all the prefs & uninstalling installing again, it just keeps coming back. The pages keep refreshing and it's making my whole computer slow and crash sometimes. Please help!
