For some reason I see ads on my blog, I never went for adsense so as far as I know I shouldn't have any ads, if I turn adblocker on I can see half my features on the site so I have to have it off on my blog.

Just letting any of you know who look at the blog if you see ads I have nothing to do with them they shouldn't be there!!

K just lettin' you know! :3

I wonder why I see them. :S

Firefox hates me I'm convinced. :lol

Chrome - Slower than a snail. :gaah
Opera - Won't install for me.... :hoh
Firefox - Argues with me, complains about flash player, and adblocker doesn't like me half the time. :(
Sea Monkey - Slow and hard to use (You can't make a new tab unless you right click new tab on a link then use it for what you want >.<!!!) :ninja

See what I go through?! D:

:cry :cry

Do you think you may have something in your browser. I can't see any either
Have you tried resetting Firefox to its default state?

If it's just you seeing ads, maybe you have some of malware hiding on your system. I checked again with Firefox, which doesn't even have adblock installed, and I still don't see any ads on your site.

I think I know what it probably is, but I can't get rid of it even if I delete the firefox thing, I blew it, I should have looked before I REINSTALLED IT ON THE FIREFOX! :gaah

I have adblocker but it's 2.4 not 2.6......................................... :(
I think I need to go cry now. xD

Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems

Over time Firefox can develop problems like slowness, crashing, unwanted toolbars and more. Troubleshooting and fixing these issues can be difficult and time consuming. The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
It may or may not keep your favourites so you may want to back them up.

Good idea Moko but Firefox will probably keep them anyway. It did when I reset mine.

I backed up my stuff just in case but I didn't lose them either when I reset. Mozilla tells you to back your bookmarks up just so they can't be blamed if anything goes wrong.
I hope you get the problem fixed soon.

Resetting FireFox usually fixes those popup ads for me. Something probably ad-ware was installed into your browser when you installed something else. They sneak in like that.Then anything you browse for ( such as shoes) , an ad relevant to that will show up anywhere on your screen. Sometimes these pesky programs aren't even visible in the add on or extensions in Mozilla.They are very sneaky :) Resetting FireFox should get rid of them. Then i would go into your control panel (add remove programs) and look for any browser ad ons installed and un install those also.They are pretty easy to spot in there.

It's still bad, I have ads on every site I go on, even though I reinstalled adblocker after resetting firefox keep getting pop-ups for some thingy that keeps REINSTALLING to my firefox even though I keep removing it....................................... I've even deleted firefox and reinstalled, and it STILL does this. :(
And now it's opening a new tab for something I never clicked on. -.-

What keeps reinstalling itself Moko? Quite often you can find information on the net about how to remove specific toolbars and malware that normal anti-virus software doesn't know about. :)

First is the AVG thing that I can't remove even though I don't want it and I never installed it, it just showed up one day and ever since then these other problems started........>.< - The other thing is a pop-up "downloader" that keeps installing itself. >.<

I deleted AVG from my laptop and it's still there............

Moko, there are normally a few different reasons for and steps to get rid of annoying software like this. *
First we need to find out what it is causing the problem.

Have you or anyone else installed anything new recently?
Check Add and Remove programs in the Control Panel. Sort programs by install date, note the most recent programs since this issue started.
What addons are currently installed in Firefox?
Are you having the same issue with other browsers?
Have you tried System Restore yet?

Answers to these questions will help with troubleshooting.

* Often times annoying software like this will be installed in your browser addons as well as OS programs. For example, when you uninstall only one the other one will trigger a reinstall of the one you just removed. It turns into a vicious cycle.

Yep an earlier restore point or system back up partition is a great suggestion,
I had a program I couldn't remove before I even tried reinstalling it and seeing if it had
its own uninstaller some programs do,
only loading a system restore point did the job for me.

Hmm you could also try using Sandboxie to sandbox your webrowser from your computer.

If your really want a clean view of your blog away from unwanted adware you could run a small secondary O.S in virtualbox like linux for webbrowsing, this keeps adware and unwanted addons in virtual machine and off main O.S.

Using CCleaner can clean Firefox of some excess files,
I'd use some trusted Cloud based Virus scanners first before installed Virus scanners, Afterwards cleanup files, then fix registry followed last by defragmenting.
