Yesterday, when I turned on Firefox, an Ad for a Registry cleaner pop up on the opening page. I tried to delete the pop up but there is no "close" button. I tried to delete using Add or Remove Programs Control panel), did not show up in the Display list. Restarted, no change. Tried : System Restore, no effect still would not delete. If I opened a "New Window" it would be free of the Ad pop up. In desperation I tried to download the Registry cleaner, got an error message from my virus scanner that the .exe file was a possible virus. Ran my virus scanner (ESET) & DELETED THE .EXE FILE. Opened FireFox, the popup window was still there.
