I just purchased a new computer with windows 8.1 and downloaded Mozilla most ever thing works fine except when I try to get to one web site (avast.com) I get rerouted to another web site (my PC backup.com) and I can't seem able to fix the problem.

hi Vincent, accroding to your system details you have an addon called "MediaPlayer 3.1.0" installed which is likely adware or malicious.

  1. please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & this entry.
  2. also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
  3. finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner, which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.
