How to stop pop-up ads from opening on their own

Solved

Hello,
My problem, which is quite annoying for peaceful browsing on the internet, is the frequent opening of ad pages. So when I leave the connection on for a while, a ton of ads pop up. I must have picked up something bad while downloading something, I don't know. Anyway, is there a way to stop this? (besides formatting my computer)

Thank you

Johann

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 20.0

Hello, first of all: What is your default browser? (Chrome remains one of the best, otherwise Firefox is pretty good).

With Chrome: Go here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/adblock?hl=en

And download "adblock" (I personally downloaded both "adblock" AND "adblock plus") it's an extension that blocks all ads on all web pages, even Facebook, YouTube and Hulu.

It works automatically: just click on "Add to Chrome".

And what is your antivirus?

I hope I was able to help you.

I added "adblock" and "adblock plus" over a month ago, and I have never seen so many ads on Google Chrome as I do now. What can I do to stop them? I have dozens of them. My antivirus is Avast free, and my OS is Windows 7 Pro. If you have any ideas, I am going crazy with these damn ads. If you want to reach me via email, my email is antoine-cuenca@outlook.fr.
