Just tried that including a reboot and cleared cookies ... still banners and dancing ads.

Same here no change

Hmmmm. I don't have the banners and ads. I'm on Windows 7, Firefox 27.0.1 and the latest ABP. I did clear my cache, logged off/on iRV2.

Ditto!

I installed AdBlock with AdblockPlus on Google Chrome and the ads disappeared.

Somewhere someone must have changed something.
I just checked in and no ads anywhere.

I was having some ads show up from a.oogala.com.
I added the filter to adblockplus and they have disappeared.

If you go to that website all you will see is "Hello Earthling."
Doesn't say much for the site.

A new program on the market is called "FastFind" or FastAdFind" (it also goes by a few other names)

Go to my comptuer, and search your hard drive for it.. IF you find it. then

Malware Bytes, will take a Byte out of crime (yes it was installed on your computer by criminals called hackers).

I just had to slap it silly here. Malware bytes removed all traces of it.
