Every time I get online, I get different popups on the left & right side of my screen, and when I open a new tab it’s no longer blank but goes to Ads.adsrvmedia.com which I do not want. I have checked my browser settings, add-ons and even reinstalled Firefox, it didn’t make any change. How do I stop getting those annoying ads and get rid of this redirect thing?
