All of A sudden I am getting McAfee pop-ups, why?

I have advanced pop-up blockers in place, I have not had any in a very long time. I do not have, nor have I inquired about McAfee products. I am running Windows7 home premium,w/ MSN security suite, Windows Defender, & Super Antispyware Professional; also Avast.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== This morning when I opened the firefox browser I had a McAfee ad.

It is only happening on one site, but I have friends that it is happening to and they don't visit this site.
Would someone please tell me the danger of using an older version of Firefox. Is it going to blow up in my face, take all of my savings from the bank, What is the danger. I don't have anything personal on my PC, I even use an alias.
I like Firefox because of the apps like WOT, adblock plus, no squint, duckduckgo, Ghostery and being able to select colors for the toolbar that makes it easy to read.
The reason I don't want to upgrade: Let me count the reasons. The main reason is they try to force me to use their new versions. '''They upgrade my FF versions even though I have it set to never. ''' Because they fixed the tool bar so I can't condense it down to one line. and I know there is software that can fix that. When developers add new options why can't they leave the older options.
Also don't put me in the class of not trying new things. I bought my first PC in 1996 and replaced it every time a new OS came out because I wanted to learn it. I kept doing that until W 8 came out. I even bought a laptop so I could see what all the fuss was about. I did see.

    >> "NSDArray...[numbers/letters]".
    That's an error from the OS leaking into Photoshop.  It is due to a bug in MacOS 10.10 that occurs in the open and save dialogs (which are controlled by the OS). Apple is aware of this and working on solutions.
    Some people have had luck changing the view in the open/save dialogs to grid view or list view.

  • All of a sudden I am getting a pop up message that says, "do you want to leave this page or stay".

    I have FF 28 and have for a long time, so that is not the problem. It is my default browser. I also have IE 10, W 7 and Avast. This problem just started a couple of weeks ago. Nothing on my pc has changed. I am trying to load an image, but it not working.

  • All of a sudden I keep getting message that my computer must be restarted and it freezes. I restart it and within minutes it happens again. This is a 27 inch iMac with latest system and software

    All of a sudden I keep getting message that my computer must be restarted and it freezes. I restart it and within minutes it happens again. This is a 27 inch iMac with latest system and software. Any ideas of what is wrong and how to fix it?

    10.7.5 is not the latest system, 10.8.3 is. However your message sounds like  a Kernel Panic, does the message look similar to About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages? If so, then if you can get the machine to restart normally then please post the Kernel Panic Report which you can find by following directions in How to log a kernel panic. Please post back with the KP log, and we can take a look. However if the machine continues to not restart then my guess is a hardware failure suck as a hard disk or failed RAM in which case you should take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for repair.

    doodlebug,
    Am I just out of luck until I find those?
    You may try Adobe Support (phone),
    http://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/adobe-connect-phone-numbers.html
    and talk to them about your registration, but I am unsure whether they can help you with anything pre CC (There was a Customer Care option with chat which seems to have stopped working).
    If you are still out of luck, please report back, and I will try to ask someone to find the right someone to help you.

    What do you mean it did not work!  What were the results of the diagnostic tests?
    Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?  
    Have you changed your router channel?  Sometimes this resolves wireless problems.

    You cannot delete them but eventually they will just go away or if do a hard shutdown On you iPhone they will go away.

    Did you even TRY safe mode, you do have lots of addons there and they automatically update in the background.

  • Macbook Pro has adware. Keep getting annoying pop-ups. How do i clean my laptop

    Macbook Pro has adware. Keep getting annoying pop-ups. How do I clean my laptop

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • I am getting unauthorised pop-ups using firefox

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