My email has an ad overlapping onto the text portion. Very annoying as we are inundated with so many ads. Now it has become intrusive!

Is that a legitimate ad or something caused by malware?

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

I spoke to Level 2 Tech Support with AT&T and he told me the problem was with Mozilla Firefox not AT&T. Resolution. Not spy/adware as I run this faithfully. This is an ad below my folders section of my email. Very frustrating.
