When I am using Firefox I keep getting unrequested Windows opening with full page advertisements. Why is this happening and how can I stop it? This is particularly aggravating when the new page has music or a voice message that intrudes even when I am not looking at the page.

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.
