Adblock Plus in installed and enabled but I am getting ads on every website I visit. What can I do?
I have had no problems over the past few years with Adblock Plus but it has stopped blocking ads. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the ad on but I keep having the same problem.

Adblock Plus doesn't block anything until you add some filters or subscribe to a filter list.

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.
