Ads in the text on internet

Post Reply New Topic

Since this morning there is words that are underligned on internet texts (including Wrong Planet) that link to ads. What's going on? I use Firefox on Window 7 64 bits.

Edit: Turn out it come from something called CouponDropDown, still don't know how I will uninstal it.

It appears to be a Firefox extension. Here's some info on how to remove it.

The real question of course, is how it managed ot get onto your system. Often Malware comes bundeled in along with a piece of freeware that you have downloaded. Removing the Malware might impede the function of the software that you have downloaded, so take note of when you started having the issue with the adware, and the last software download that you made before you started having the issue, and that will probably be the problem.

I deleted one extension mentionned in the commentaries (one click downloader) and deleteds my caches and cookies, it seem to have working.
