Solved Firefox double-lined and linked words.

[BlackSparrow]

I don't know if this is the right location to put this, so could someone please move it is it isn't in the right place.

I have been having a problem with Firefox recently, each page I go on to has some words linked to other websites. It has been going on for about a month now and I don't know what is going on with it.

The screenshot shows what has been happening, if you want me to take a better screenshot just ask.

Could be ads, could be a weird add on. Have you tried clicking firefox-help-restart with addons disabled?

Yes I have and it has done the same thing, and I don't think it is a weird add on because the only add on that I have enabled right now is add blocker.

Apparently no, I have just done what the website says and it seems to stay the same

Okay, I just found out what the links lead to. It appears to be some weird form of add that links to other websites. Here is a picture of what one of the links from my 7F CP leads to.

I don't think you should be getting those if you are logged in here, z3r010 could help with that.

That is adware according to my Google searches.

This wouldn't hurt then,

AdwCleaner Download

You should also run a threat scan with MBAM: https://www.malwarebytes.org/getmbam
You should run a full scan too if you have the time. It will search deeper in areas that malware usually does not infect, but sometimes they do infect the least obvious spaces. Please show us a screenshot of the results so we can make sure you are not removing false positives. You mat even find other viruses you have never known was on your system.

I am currently running MBAM now since I have tons of time. I will post a screenshot after it has finished.

So do I just press on the "Clean" button for Adw?

Could you post a picture of all tabs on the results?
Edit: actually only the ones that have a item in it.

What is on the Firefox tab?

Apologies, but I had already pressed "Clean" and it came up with a WordPad document (shown in the screenshot). It seems that it was only the RightSurf stuff that was the Malware as well, so not all pages are back to normal, I'll also be showing a page that had the links and all in the screenshot.

That's alright, looks like you got it.

Your specs say you have MBAM Pro, I guess you are running that for good measure?

I was running MBAM but not in the Pro version, don't know why it showed that I was

 

[derekimo]

Free is good too, I was just wondering if you were running a scan with that as well.

Yeah I was running it, it was almost completed too before I had to restart my computer.

 

[derekimo]

Good deal. You should be good to go.

Do you have an antivirus too? MBAM reccomends you have another antivirus like Avast and MSE.
