How do I get rid of firefox popups with comptitions and quizzes etc?
Doesn't matter whether I'm in my emails or browsing the net, when I click on an option, another page pops up and it says firefox in the left hand corner and is usually about a quiz or a competition or other irrelevant topics. I have to close this each time in order to return to the work I'm doing.

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

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
