Adblock Not Working

[HarcoreLAMP]

So, i've had this issue MANY times. What i do is i get firefox, and first thing i do is get adblock. It works fine for the next week or so, but then i see ads all over the place. Whenever this happens, i uninstall everything on my computer having to do with firefox, reinstall it, and get adblock. Then a week later, i start seeing ads. Most of the time i see just outlines of ads, which are still annoying, and on one edge, it says "Ads supported by (usually BetterSurf)." I have windows 8, and i'm using adblock 2.4

i got a new desktop that has windows 8 and im also having an issue where ABP is not working at all, i re-installed and restarted my system but still no luck. i just want a fix for it for windows 8.

Ok, i now know my system is infected, but nothing else really helps. I have the newest everything, i even double checked. But the the thing is how do i get rid of it, i dont really want to download anything, so if there's any other way to get rid of it and NOT download something, please post a link. I uninstalled everything that had to do with bettersurf. Also, is it only firefox that's infected? or my whole system, because when i get chrome, which starts not working after a week so i uninstall it, i get no ads from bettersurf.

If anyone can help me, that would be great!

As the original issue could be related to malware and the foillowing posts are somehow unrelated, I'll close this. If you are still facing a defect behaviour with ABP after having followed all of mapx' instructions, please file an issue at https://issues.adblockplus.org
