When I open Firefox a betting advert opens at the same time?
When I click on the Firefox icon my home page is shown but in the background a Sky Betting advert opens at the same time. Sometimes it just overlays my home page. I do not know how this one advert was able to do this, how did it manage to get through my security? How can I get rid of this advert for good?

I think you have adware/malware on your pc, I suggest you to follow this tutorial http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/tutorials/44-english/tutorials/software/313-how-to-use-adwcleaner-version-3-x
Your Package Installer & Install Conduit plugin is almost certainly part of the Conduit Search family malware. Use the Search box above and Google for an excess of information and advice.

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
