Most of the time about when I close Firefox, a firefox window with the url adsupplyads.com appears.  I've run antimalware until I'm blue in the face and it finds nothing.  I've deleted cookies.  I don't have any suspicious looking sites in the tabs.  I also tried closing all the tabs, deleting cookies, and restarting.

 

I googled, and other people are having this problem with firefox and with chrome, and no scanners seem to detect anything.  I searched the forum here and unless I bungled the search no one has reported this.

 

What to do...

As I noted in my original post, I have run antimalware numerous times and it has reported nothing wrong.  I always update before I run it and I always run a full scan.

 

Here is the last log, from yesterday.  I see that pup says show in results list and do not check for removal.  I am not sure what it means by check for removal - if that is off, is it hopping over checking those programs?

I don't tell it to remove selected because like there's nothing reported.

[MrCharlie]
