Adblock advert appears each time Safari opens

As above.  I cannot stop the advert from loading each time I start up Safari.  I have clicked everything I can find in Adblock to no avail.  Adblock tells me to:
If you see this message every time you start AdBlock, please make sure you are not using a file cleaner that also cleans 'localStorage' files.
I cannot find a file cleaner or  localStorage files.  Adblock can't seem to help me, can you?  Thanks.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

  • "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message appears each time I open Acrobat Pro.

    "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message appears each time I open Acrobat Pro.  I am at a loss as to how to fix the problem.  Can anyone provide some insights?

    Thanks Bill.  After a good nights rest I don't feel like I'm in as big of a fight with Adobe as I was yesterday.  I was able to search through the search results with more patience and found these instructions:

    My problem was solved after the first step.  THANK YOU.  Life is much more peaceful when the things that are supposed to work do.

  • Firefox set up message appears each time i open firefox

    Every time I open Firefox I get a message saying "You have chosen to open Firefox Setup 4.0.1exe which is a: binary file from: http://mozilla.cdn.leaseweb.com Would you like to save this file?"
    I have tried saving it again, re-running the set up file, all to no avail I still get the message every time I open Firefox. How can I stop it?

  • How do I turn off the time?  The lock screen appears each time I open the smart cover.

    No matter which app I'm in, when I open the smart cover, the lock screen with the time shows.  This is on an iPad Air
    On my iPad Mini, it goes right to the app and skips the lock screen.
    It's sure nicer not to be reminded what time it is in the middle of the night--and not have the brighter lock screen flashed!

    Appreciate the reply.  The settings are identical, so that's not it!  I do not use the pass code lock, in any event.  The behavior I'm describing is, in fact, turns out to be unrelated to the lock settings! 
    It depends upon whether an alert has occurred after the last time you closed the cover!  In iOS 7, that will show the lock/unlock screen with the alert when you next open the cover.  In iOS 6, more properly, it will show the alert over the screen you were last looking at--no lock screen at all.
    On our iPad Mini, iOS 6, we do not use the calendar, so no alerts, and we never see the lock screen or its glaring time (count me among those who would rather not know it's 3am when I decide to read in the middle of the night!)   On the Air, we return to where we left off if there hasn't been an alert--but to the lock screen if there has been one!
    Truly wish that Apple would give us options as to displaying the time or not--on the lock screen and on the status bar!

    I have a movie site banner ad that I cannot delete from my IPhone 5 Safari page.  It appears every time I open Safari.  How can I delete it?

    You do not have a virus.  Sounds like you are just being bitten by Safari's desire to reopen all windows - and reconnect to all sites that were open in those windows - in Mac OS X 10.7.  I believe that if you hold down option (or is it shift?) while opening Safari that it will not try to reload those pages.
