In can't get rid of new tabs/popup windows opening up
I cant get rid of pop up windows. Whenever I am on a web page a new tab will open up and will be some sort of advertisement. I have run CC Cleaner, McAfee, Spybot and advanced system cleaner several times. My pop up blocker is on and there are no exceptions listed under it. I also have the adblockplus addon installed but they still keep hijacking my browser. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox and still nothing. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone please help me?

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
