Ads have taken over my FireFox. When I go to Drudge report the left and right colums are replace with ads. I have tried going to the AdChoice site to opt out
In addition to the Drudge problem when I go to some sites I get sent to an ad and can't load the site at all. This doesn't Happen one IE 9. I am using Fire Fox 16.0.1

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to 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.
