    Dam adverts!!!
    Hey,

    everytime I browse Firefox, on any website I go on, there are adverts that aren't by the website. It says below the ad "Ads not by this site". I think this started when I downloaded something that I've now deleted but the ads still come!! They slow my pc down a lot and I haven't been able to remove them.

    Help

    Try CC cleaner to get rid of unwanted things.
    Next thing is try Malwarebytes.
