Ad Block Plus not working, even AFTER reformatting hard driv

Post by AkiraLe »

Hi. I use Firefox, and have used ad block plus for years. A few days ago, all ads were showing on every website. (I also downloaded other ad block add-ons with no success). I did everything possible to fix this, including virus and malware scans, but nothing helped. I decided to REFORMAT my entire hard drive just to fix this ONE problem.

Now, after I re-installed Windows 7,and ran windows updates, I immediately installed firefox first, then ad block plus. I enabled the Easy List Filter. I unchecked "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" under Adblock Plus Options in Filter lists Tab. But ads are showing on every website still!!! No ads, whatsoever, are being blocked! I cannot possibly have any maleware or viruses, as I have not downloaded or installed any other software yet, except ESET. And ESET has found nothing wrong. PLEASE HELP, this is driving me crazy!

Everything is up to date....Windows 7, Firefox, Ad Block plus, and Windows Updates.
Thank you.
