How do I disable the "ad wigets" in a auto populating site?
When I use a website that auto-populates a window the widgets are also trying to "suggest" a link for me. I cannot figure out how to disable the widget so I can use the site.
the website is livestrong and I am trying to fill out my selections for tracking.

Have you tried Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription?
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.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
