So, i have different browsers installed on my computer (maxthon, chrome, firefox) but a few weeks ago, i started having problems with pop up ads and windows, and this only happened in firefox. I tried downloading some programs like Malwarebytes,Spybot, AdwCleaner and SuperAntiSpyware but none managed to fix my problem. The only thing that fixed my problem was getting the old version of firefox, but i really dislike it. So whenever i go onto firefox it says my adobe flash plugin stopped working, when i click the search bar it opens windows with ads and when i search anything it comes up with several other websites and on top of it it says "ads by name". This only occurrs on firefox, i was really hoping u could help me solve my problem since none of the software i got did it.

Thanks for your patience

Posting Logs as Attachments

May I draw your attention to the topic: ALL USERS OF THIS FORUM MUST READ THIS FIRST, which you should have read before posting for help.

The instructions for running DDS or FRST found HERE, state how we need you to post the logs, so we can help you.

The section here explains why you should not post attachments unless the helper assisting you requests that you do so.

If you still require assistance, please start a new topic and copy and paste your DDS logs (DDS.txt and Attach.txt) OR your FRST logs (FRST.txt and Addition.txt) and wait for a new helper. Thank you for your understanding.
