Ads

Is it just me, or has there been a sudden increase in spontaneous full-window ads, usually appearing two at a time? It's driving me nuts.

on top of Adblock, I also downloaded Malwarebyte's anti-malware to stop the stupid click-jacking pop-ups that were on FF a few months ago...

These are back, at least for me -- how did malaware help you get rid of them? Or did it just help you clean up your startup/registry/cookies after the fact?

it will warn/block some sites, and will clean up the registry. I really like Malwarebytes as an extra piece of insurance.
When I just had Adblock some click-jack stuff would still get by.

See, I have malawarebytes and it doesn't work as a preventative, but maybe I don't have the most updated version? Don't know, I just seem to be annoyed by them constantly on ff.net, especially when I'm trying to apply the adblock.
