On my Father's laptop I can't get any adblocking programs for Firefox to install and my Father prefers Firefox. It says connection failure and our connection is working fine. Anyway to fix this?

You should probably be in the malware forum.

 

Please download MiniToolBox, save it to your desktop and run it.

Checkmark the following checkboxes:

  • Flush DNS
  • Report IE Proxy Settings
  • Reset IE Proxy Settings
  • Report FF Proxy Settings
  • Reset FF Proxy Settings
  • List content of Hosts
  • List IP configuration
  • List Winsock Entries
  • List last 10 Event Viewer Errors
  • List Installed Programs
  • List Devices
  • List Users, Partitions and Memory size.
  • List Minidump Files

Click Go and post the result (Result.txt). A copy of Result.txt will be saved in the same directory the tool is run.

Note: When using "Reset FF Proxy Settings" option Firefox should be closed.

 

That should allow you to install Ublock Origin

which is probably the best adblocker around.

 

If that doesn't work we will need to move you to the malware forum.
