hey everybody, i'm getting a flash banner hijacking(performanceoptimizer.com) from a malware program when i visit websites sometimes. It's extremely annoying and i'm wondering if there's any program i can use to get rid of it. It's random and doesn't matter what website i visit, it still pops up once in awhile...i use Firefox.

Thanks.

To stop Flash from loading automatically with Firefox, there is an extension called Flashblock. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433
To stop performanceoptimizer from being accessed by Firefox in any form, you can use Adblock Plus and add that hostname to its blocklist, or you can use Blocksite, with a blocklist, or both.
