Hi friends. there's this malware opening my Firefox and directing me to a website called pop-broker.com. It's almost two weeks now. The website won't load since I have it blocked with AD blockers. Bitdefender is also useless in finding it with all scans, quick and deep and others. Does anyone have any idea how to find it?

PS. Anyone from Bitdefender is reading it, this was my first and last subscription.
