Irritating ads on common words in some browsers

Dear Experts,

These days, on browsers like Firefox with FlashGot, I see unwanted ads/hyperlinks even on common words (not intended hyperlinks). My FF has ABP plugin too. On many other systems (used by others), I see this issue.

But on a new browser installed with no plugins, I don't see this issue. Please advise me to solve this issue.

I am attaching a snapshot of the issue.

Check for other extensions in FF, which you've not installed. If nothing works, export your bookmarks and reset the firefox.

1) check for any unwanted programs and add ons in browser.

2) Run "AdwCleaner"

3) Run a 'mbam' scan.

Your problem should be gone.

Thank you, Experts! Your tips helped a lot. I installed AdwCleaner too. It is doing a wonderful job.
