These ads are coming up every now and then and ruin the entire browsing experience. I desperately need to get rid of these ads due to the nature of my work.

You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

Hi Fred!

It seems that Malwarebytes software has removed DNS Unlocker for now. I can't thank you enough. Hope this was the last time I saw these annoying ads. Thank you!
