how to remove adchoices from firefox
Adchoices has become an major online problem. Since it is not anything I asked for, I would like to remove it from my computer. I have conducted a Google search and attempted to follow the instructions listed on the Monzilla forum, but it does NOT work. How can I remove this nuance from my computer?

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
