Surf Sidekick & Others?

$

0
Yesterday while reading the news at my favorite legit site my browser Firefox locked up. I never knowingly visit any site I wouldn't want my grandchildren to visit. :)

While trying to reboot it I noticed a pop-up box and all I could read before it disappeared was Surf Sidekick. All of my antivirus software and firewall etc was then turned off. After getting all that up and running again I did a bunch of reading on-line and file searches within my system. I also ran a few programs such as Ad Aware, Malwarebytes, SUPERAntiSpyware and McAfee. Nothing was found in any except for the typical tracking cookies.

That said my browser has been acting a bit weird today so it would be greatly appreciated if someone could review my situation and let me know.

Thanks for your help....and I hope I've done everything correctly.
