AdWords connecting to fraud sites are appearing in articles opened in FireFox. Can this be fixed?

Question

Hi Guys
In the last two days I have experienced a hijacking of my browser. I have opened a web page and there have been embedded links to "unauthorised advertising" on the pages. Worse, sometimes the links are hidden.
I fell victim to one of the hidden links. I was redirected to a page called "SID=" and I cannot close the web page. The intent of the page is to get my cell phone number and bill me for premium content. This is done under the guise of offering me a free iPad or iPhone and a silly questionnaire. The really annoying part is that I cannot close the web page. I had to pull the other pages out of the window before I could close the window that had the fraud advertising embedded in it.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
