  1. Question

Why is firefox loading extra blank page on initial load and why is an advert for some type of Bingo site loading on initial load as if it is a part of loading feature. How can I delete this Bingo paage and stop extra pages loading (the extra blank Pages are Minimised); here is the information of the minimised page;ad.yieldmanager.com. I would like to know what is causing this http://www.freelotto.com/register.asp?skin=WinnerLlano&noepu=1&partner=1060788&affiliateid=

Is that page one of your Homepages?

Or maybe you picked up some Malware.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.
(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)
These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.
Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.
