Popunders

On my Firefox browser and I'm getting popups - I think these are called popunders.


Every time I click on a new page, a new ad comes up.


I have the popup blocker 'on' under 'tools'.


I've done a full scan with bitdefender internet security 2013 and it shows no issues.


I also have the firewall and antispam on.


Why isn't bitdefender blocking these popup ads??


How do I set bitdefender from stopping these things?


thank you

    Hello :)


    In order to be able to further investigate the reported situation we need a bit more information from your computer as follows:


    . A BDSYS log;


    [how to GENERATE A BDSYS LOG]


    . Save and extract the BDSYS tool to a location of your choice:


    http://www.bitdefender.com/files/Knowledge.../BDSysLog_i.exe


    . Make sure you close all active applications and then run "BDSysLog_i.exe"; If you receive a firewall alert,select to Allow the application to connect;


    . Click the "Create log" button to start generating the log; A progress bar is indicating that the tool is creating the report;


    . When the small window appears with the message "Log saved" then the report is complete and a new file named "bdsyslog.zip" has appeared on your Desktop;


    . Upload the results to one of the online file hosting servers mentioned below or use one of your own and post here the download link.

    Have a nice day!
