Why do you stop browsing for cookies? What do you have against cookies?

No, I just delete them from my desk and put them somewhere... :)

My forum became crazy. Please help.
I haven't this problem before. It's underlined words and small advertisment windows jump up. What happened? Can I make something to switch of this?

I would run a virus scan on the computer to make sure your computer doesn't have a virus. I see you're using Firefox, try using a different browser and see if that changes anything. I use Chome and it works fine for me, do you have Chrome?

Oh dear! That's one nasty mallware you have.

Please try this first:
- Top right in your browser are 3 black lines, click on them
- Chose Add-ons
- Go to Extentions and check if there's anything weird there ... Just DELETE it, you don't NEED any add-ons, there's nothing bad with deleting them all if you think it's needed.
- After you did so, try closing your browser and restart the browser.

Most of the times this will end the issue, if not ...
Make sure to scan your complete computer, did you download something online lately?

I've had this before and some other people I know too, they fixed the issue with the add-ons.

Thank You very much! It works!

Great teamwork

Noemi download Adblocker/Adblock for Firefox, it helps a lot. Believe me :)

Adblocker does work a lot, I use it myself, but it doesn't completely block out adware and malware

I'm glad it worked!

Indeed CRAZY FORUM

Thank you for your help

Thank You for everybody! Maybe next time I will know, what I can do if my firefox become crazy.

Good that your problem is solved now, - thankyou Damon and others

Great to have this topic for later, if something similar happens to my computer

I am glad you solved it with Damons' help. That's the best step to take anytime it happens.

I'm happy it worked again, however it wouldn't hurt if you check on you pc if it has somehow installed a program that instals these kind of weird ad-ons to you browser. You can check this by going to control panel on you pc and then click on uninstal programs. You you find a program that's named the same as your add-on was named you'd better uninstal it, also the date on which this program was installed could tell you a lot.

Not in all cases this is necessary, but I had to do it sometimes unfortunately. I hope you won't need to!

Use an addblock at your browser, it helps.
