Everytime I want to go to a sight My firefox sight does an advertisement for paypal. Thats kinda creepy!
I want to go to Yahoo, it says, did you know that mozilla and paypal have some blah blah blah campaign going right now? Go here to sign up. If I wanted to go to Paypal I would have typed in Paypal. Then when i finally get to yahoo, Some avertisement jumps in every time saying I WON something! Just go where i need to go, I blocked popups so whats the deal?

I recommend installing the Adblock Plus extension. This will block advertisements from showing up on a site. If these ads still pop up, I recommend checking your extensions list (Tools > Add-ons) for anything that looks suspicous. If you do, we would appreciate you telling us.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
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.
