A redirect bug in moz. browser, breaks into each webbsite I visit. How do I stop it?
A website, tajs.qq.com sends a redirect to download Adobe Flash Player on any website I attempt to visit, except Pogo Games. I followed instructions in the browser to BLOCK unwanted websites, and it still comes up each time. The download that it attempts to get me to download, has a virus in it. I've tried everything I know to stop it. By the way, the Microsoft E Browser, is not infected, and I can use it, even though I hate it. I want'a use Mozilla Fire Fox browser, but I can't at this time.

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 that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

italic text I had two of these, SuperAntiSpyware and Skybot-Search and Destroy, and had ran them once, before updating (which didn't seem to help) but after updating and running again, it didn't pop up, so guess it solved the problem. Thanks.

NOTE: I downloaded this program to FireFox Browser. Now I can't see how to open it to block this popup. It's still there and it's driving me crazy.

When the web site pops up, right click an empty area, and select Block This Site. You can also copy the address from the address bar, go thru the Add-ons Manager, and press Block Site Options.
Adblock Plus {web link} Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable).
When I right click the open area, BLOCK THIS SITE does not show in the box? I don't understand why, because when I downloaded "Adblock Plus," the site thanked me. I restarted my computer to be sure it was installed, but Block This Site does not show up in the right click box??? Help!!!
Open the Add-ons Manager. Go to Block This Site. Make sure it is not disabled. Press the Options button.
