Re: something is adding exception rules to adblock plus
-first scan your system for malware:
use malwarebytes antimalware ==> http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware
and adwcleaner http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/
-check your addons ==> remove those unknown (not installed by you)
-delete those custom filters
-close /reopen firefox
-re-test

Re: something is adding exception rules to adblock plus
already did a malwarebytes full scan.. root kits and all.. didnt find anything.
there is no unwanted adons, checked that too.
seems to happen when i visit yahoo.com at least thats where i notice it becasue it keeps poping up a vid from myspace.

Re: something is adding exception rules to adblock plus
-example of application which add exception filters (custom ones) to ABP
ace player ==> add a group named "Exception rules" with an own exception filter
So, if adwcleaner don't find any threat, you could see which programs did you install ultimately

k, adwcleaner found some reg keys and deleted them..
also i noticed that the adon "show ip" witch i have used for years
is now trying to install something called adbeaver.
removed it as well..
hopefully this was it.
thanks bro..
