Stop links to belombrea.com and other adware/malware sites

more options

Hello:

Somehow over the last several weeks, I have picked up an annoying adware/malware app that is getting Firefox to open a link to belombrea.com which then redirects to another ad site. I have tried using the add-on Block Site but that add-on is not consistent.

BTW...all my apps come from Google Play, which i thought would be free of trojans like this. Am I wrong?

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this issue.

Okay. Assuming those are the official apps from Google Play, I am not so worried about them. I recomend that you clear your browsing history following this guide:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-your-browsing-history-and-other-personal-data

I think that something has sneaked in with your browising history and this should clear it.

I hope this helps.
