Hi,
I have started experiencing an ugly problem. While browsing thru sites all of a sudden a site will be redirected to a page with ADs instead of that particular site. It's happening randomly not related to a specific sites. I tried resetting the firefox but the problem is back. Any clues?

Browser redirecting to different page ADs
Re: Browser redirecting to different page ADs
It sounds like the behaviour of a browser hijacker. Did you install any addons to Firefox recently?...You might try running Firefox with addons disabled and see if that clears up the problem, and then enable the addons one by one until you can eliminate which one might be causing your re-directions?spandey wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 4:50 amHi,

Just install Advert-Block-antiX from MX Package Installer (MXPI). After installation start from Whisker Menu "advert Block Antix" and pick all block-services to activate and restart browser.
