Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Just for starters you could try disabling("Never activate") your PopularScreensavers Installer Plugin. It comes from a troublesome family.

thank you but I don't have this program
Georgia 1 Did you post this with the same computer? If so, it is listed under your More System Details shown above. It's a good idea to de-activate it on whichever computer it is on.
Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good add / pop-up blocker.
