How do I get rid of those annoying moving ads......very distracting!
Ads on the side when I attempt to find something on Internet Explorer that constantly move, move, move. They are very annoying. How do I get rid of them? Example: Oprah (lied) Ellen (skin) I have to scroll down to get it out of my field of vision and lose seeing what I am really looking for!

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

No, this did not solve my problem. The problem is...............getting rid of the ad. I have no interest in Oprah wiping her tears or Ellen applying makeup! The ad is quite irritating!
You ran all those scanners in two hours and they didn't find anything?
If that's the case, then you should try these things:
- Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
- Update Firefox to the latest release
- Install something like www.adblockplus.org
