I uninstalled Firefox, run Malwarebytes and Avast, but none of these seem to solve the problem. This popup always opens, even though I can't seem to find Firefox 32 bit installed on my PC.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad / pop-up blocker.


It might be in the other Windows Programs Folder.

Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86)
