I keep getting redirected to advertising sites that I did not clicki....How do I fix this
I use the latest FF browser and yesterday when I would try to go to a site I wanted to see, I would be redirected to an advertising site...
Usually it happens from a google search but not always....
I ran the Microsoft Security software, but it did not fix it...Do you have any suggestions

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
