I receive pop-ups on my Firefox screens from TUVARO, an irritating and worthless add-on; however, their instructions for removal do not work; please help!
The Tuvaro software, which apparently is added to my Mozilla apps, contains a link (?) with each word that is highlighted on my various websites. When I click, it tells me I can disable and then reset my screen and the irritating, and worthless, links will no longer be displayed. Within a few seconds, however, the Tuvaro reappears, oftentimes on different words. When I click on the link (?) and select the instructions for removal from Mozilla Firefox, the means to remove also does not eliminate the program. I would like to know how to disable Tuvaro, and would also like to recommend to Firefox that it be labeled as SPAM and not permitted for Mozilla.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

You have several malware extensions. For example, Safe Saver, which is used to freeze browser settings and show advertisements. They are part of tuvaro. Remove them. Adwcleaner, Spyhunter might help to get rid of them.
