Viruses: Injected Ads.

[LeeroyGraycat]

I love using Adblock Plus to, well, block ads and the like, but I have to ask about the injected ads...
Specific to my experience, I started having some variation of a porn po-up repeatedly try to open up in a new Waterfox windows when I would open up college links in new tabs (I closed the windows before they could load images, thank God). Windows 8's Windows Defender didn't find any viruses on the computer, but, after downloading and using AVG (which I only do in such circumstances), it detected 17, a handful of which were labeled with "Adblock's Injected Ads" as their source. After having AVG clean up said files from Adblock, the windows stopped trying to open. Sure, keeping AVG or some other form of anti-virus software that's beyond Windows Defender would probably protect against this, but is it an acceptable issue? I was told to "simply disable injected advertisements," but that option is absent, and my add-on claims to be up-to-date at 2.4 To have a program that is supposed to prevent ads, with a primary intent to avoid clicking on them and getting viruses, actually find viruses for you via injected ads, seems... wrong. I'm not here to debate whether or not this occurs, since, due to my own experience and the fact that AVG's database has it as a common occurrence, I know it does. Thoughts, anyone?

*I would post the archive of the scan, but, after uninstalling AVG to fix an issue with windows defender and updating to Windows 8.1 taking forever, it is gone.*

Adblock Plus doesn't inject ads into web pages, malicious programs do. The "Allow some non-intrusive advertisement" option in Adblock Plus refers to permitting unobtrusive text ads and the like. Such ads are already present on the page, not injected by Adblock Plus and they're definitely not of the nature you describe.

Although you can subscribe to the Malicious Domains filter list, doing so is not a substitute for running up-to-date anti-virus and anti-malware software, or protecting your system in other ways, like Firefox's anti-malware feature.

I experienced the same. Adblock injects all kind of nasty ads into my outlook webmail mails. When I disabled the Adblock Plus, the problem was solved. If it's not a Adblok Plus problem there is some other reason why this happens, but it's related with Adblock Plus.

I scanned my desktop with multiple virus and malware scanners. No malware or virus was found. The problem only (re)appeared in Chrome when Adblock Plus was enabled.

No, ABP does not inject any ad. it's your system.

Try scanning using malwarebytes antimalware, adwcleaner and unhackme (use trial version).
