On any site I go to, I get a pop up. The popup refers to the subject of my search, and recommends other site. It happen on any site, and there is nothing to identify it. I have tried to send you a copy of one of the pop ups, but the firefox question page will not allow it.

It sounds like your computer might have some malicious software installed. Try using one of these programs to detect and remove malicious software:
