I have ADP, but it stopped working lately. I have tons of popups and ads and it redirects to crappy things every time I get on here. Help!

Are you sure you don't have some sort of malware or something happening on your machine? I've never had a popup or anything when I visit these forums. I just tried it from a couple other browsers on my machine just to test and nope, no popup ads or redirects.

GW seems to have buried the link to Computer Help Forum they are often quite helpful.

zackey: I noticed with my last update of firefox, ADP had to reinstalled also. Check to make sure you still have yours. If you still have it, I'd think malware also.

The icon is still there and it comes up when I click on it. How do I reinstall it?

zackey: if it's still there, I'm sure it's still installed. But, to check --- tools, add-ons, extensions.

I'm thinking malware. Download malwarebytes free version and do a scan. If it doesn't get it, download combofix and run it.

Do you mean ABP (AdBlock Plus)?

If it is installed and you're still getting pop-ups, follow Woohooman's advice and install the FREE Malwarebytes, then run a scan.

Get it directly from its home site, and make sure you get the FREE version, not the Trial or paid(Premium) one...

Here is a link that might be useful: Malwarebytes
