If your web browser is randomly being redirected to the “Ads not by this site” advertisements then your computer is infected with an adware program.

Picture of Ads not by this site virus

The “Ads not by this site” adware program is bundled with other free software that you download off of the Internet. Unfortunately, some free downloads do not adequately disclose that other software will also be installed and you may find that you have installed adware without your knowledge.

Once this malicious program is installed, whenever you will browse the Internet, an ad from Ads not by this site will randomly pop-up.
These ads are aimed to promote the installation of additional questionable content including web browser toolbars, optimization utilities and other products, all so the adware publisher can generate pay-per-click revenue.

When infected with the “Ads not by this site” adware, other common symptoms include:

  • Advertising banners are injected with the web pages that you are visiting.
  • Random web page text is turned into hyperlinks.
  • Browser popups appear which recommend fake updates or other software.
  • Other unwanted adware programs might get installed without the user’s knowledge.
You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this Ads not by this site adware. Be very careful what you agree to install.
Always opt for the custom installation and deselect anything that is not familiar, especially optional software that you never wanted to download and install in the first place. It goes without saying that you should not install software that you don’t trust.
The below instructions are for Windows users, however we also have an Android guide and a Mac OS guide which should help clean up your device.

This step should be performed only if your issues have not been solved by the previous steps.

  1. In the upper-right corner of the Firefox window, click the Firefox menu button, then click on the “Help” [Image: Firefox Help button] button.

    Reset Firefox settings to default
  5. Firefox will close itself and will revert to its default settings. When it’s done, a window will list the information that was imported. Click on the “Finish“.
Your old Firefox profile will be placed on your desktop in a folder named “Old Firefox Data“. If the reset didn’t fix your problem you can restore some of the information not saved by copying files to the new profile that was created. If you don’t need this folder any longer, you should delete it as it contains sensitive information.
Your computer should now be free of the Ads not by this site pop-ups. You can remove AdwCleaner from your computer, however we recommend that you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and HitmanPro installed to periodically scan your device for malware.
If you are still experiencing problems while trying to remove Ads not by this site adware from your computer, please do one of the following:

How to Stay Safe Online

Here are 10 basic security tips to help you avoid malware and protect your device:

  1. Use a good antivirus and keep it up-to-date.

    Shield Guide

    It's essential to use a good quality antivirus and keep it up-to-date to stay ahead of the latest cyber threats. We are huge fans of Malwarebytes Premium and use it on all of our devices, including Windows and Mac computers as well as our mobile devices. Malwarebytes sits beside your traditional antivirus, filling in any gaps in its defenses, and providing extra protection against sneakier security threats.

  2. Keep software and operating systems up-to-date.

    updates-guide

    Keep your operating system and apps up to date. Whenever an update is released for your device, download and install it right away. These updates often include security fixes, vulnerability patches, and other necessary maintenance.

  3. Be careful when installing programs and apps.

    install guide

    Pay close attention to installation screens and license agreements when installing software. Custom or advanced installation options will often disclose any third-party software that is also being installed. Take great care in every stage of the process and make sure you know what it is you're agreeing to before you click "Next."

  4. Install an ad blocker.

    Ad Blocker

    Use a browser-based content blocker, like AdGuard. Content blockers help stop malicious ads, Trojans, phishing, and other undesirable content that an antivirus product alone may not stop.

  5. Be careful what you download.

    Trojan Horse

    A top goal of cybercriminals is to trick you into downloading malware—programs or apps that carry malware or try to steal information. This malware can be disguised as an app: anything from a popular game to something that checks traffic or the weather.

  6. Be alert for people trying to trick you.

    warning sign

    Whether it's your email, phone, messenger, or other applications, always be alert and on guard for someone trying to trick you into clicking on links or replying to messages. Remember that it's easy to spoof phone numbers, so a familiar name or number doesn't make messages more trustworthy.

  7. Back up your data.

    backup sign

    Back up your data frequently and check that your backup data can be restored. You can do this manually on an external HDD/USB stick, or automatically using backup software. This is also the best way to counter ransomware. Never connect the backup drive to a computer if you suspect that the computer is infected with malware.

  8. Choose strong passwords.

    lock sign

    Use strong and unique passwords for each of your accounts. Avoid using personal information or easily guessable words in your passwords. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your accounts whenever possible.

  9. Be careful where you click.

    cursor sign

    Be cautious when clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources. These could potentially contain malware or phishing scams.

  10. Don't use pirated software.

    Shady Guide

    Avoid using Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing programs, keygens, cracks, and other pirated software that can often compromise your data, privacy, or both.

To avoid potential dangers on the internet, it's important to follow these 10 basic safety rules. By doing so, you can protect yourself from many of the unpleasant surprises that can arise when using the web.

  3. After steps 1 & 2, I still have “ads not by this site.” Someone two years ago said that was all that was needed. Working on #3 now.

  4. The infection of my Chrome browser seems to have been caused by the extension DotVPN. I uninstalled it and then the “not by this site” search hits dissapeared.

  6. YOU ARE SO ASDFGHJKLWEORUTUYT AWESOME
    THANK YOU SO MUCH
    I LOVE YOU
    FOR LIFE

  10. Thank you sooooooooooo much, it works with your step1 and step 2.

    I just follow your Step 1 and Step 2, the “ads not by this site” does not show up again when I use Chrome to visit Internet.

    My question: should I continue to Step 3, Step 4 and Step 5?

    Again, really appreciate your knowledge and your time.

    thanks once again

    rob

  23. thanks!! it worked just… great!!! i had been going like this for 6 months at least!! thank you!!

  25. I went through all the steps; unfortunately it did not work. In my extensions I have PSdToPng which does not allow removal. Could it be this?

  31. Praise God!!! this was an answer to a prayer.

I did not trust you at first to be honest thought I could be downloading more viruses but that was deff not the case
    thank you

  34. hi,

    the ONLY extension it shows is “PDFViewer 1.1

    Permissions

    ID: hafjilfochochfhhojdjldgdaoobjnlg

    (This extension is managed and cannot be removed or disabled.)

    Inspect views: background.html

    Allow in incognito”

    and it does not have a delete or disable button

  36. Hi, thanks for the great instructions, BUT NONE of this worked for me, this malware seems ingrained in my browser, I use chrome, I’ve performed all the steps twice now and still can’t remove the malware

  37. OK, success! You were right about disabling extensions one by one. It was the last thing I had to try. The extension was called Flash Player 11. All clear. great job, great site!

  39. Hello,
    You have a few extension that I know about, but you also have a few that I have not seen.
    Can you please try to disable your extensions one-by-one, then see if the issues is fixed, so that we may see which one is causing these ads.

  42. And yes, I ran everything exactly like the instructions said and in the same order. Adwcleaner, Junkware, etc Everything. Should I keep FF closed while running everything?

  43. Extensions:
    AVG Privacy Fix
    Better Privacy
    Disconnect
    Download Helper
    Flash player 11
    https everywhere
    lightbeam
    MaskMe
    QQ Mail plugin for FF
    Skype click to call
    Tencent storage plug-in
    Adblock plus (disabled)
    DoNoTrackMe (disabled)
    Real downloader (disabled)

    Appearance:
    Night before Christmas
    Default (disabled)
    Homestyle Christmas (disabled) (yeah, i know, xmas is over)

  44. Hello,
    You have run both AdwCleaner and Junkware Removal tool right? Lets see what extension you have installed:
    1. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    2.In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions or Appearance panel.
    3. Let me know which extensions you have installed.

  45. This didn’t work for me. I followed the instructions meticulously. The optional step 5 in my version of FF (27.0.1) did not have a reset button in the troubleshooting guide. I can say it worked partially since I get less offensive adds now, but the pop-ups are still coming on many but not all pages (not on Facebook or any Google sites) and now not on this site either. But it’s still trying to redirect and failing. I still get the redirect on some pages and of course when that happens you can’t hit the back button because it loses the page I was trying to go to. I keep MalwareByte anti-malware running now too.

    One of the redirects I see flashing at the bottom of the FF screen is for shopping-guide-onlines.com. Yes it has the “s” at the end. I also see lookup.bluecava.com. According to Disconnect I’m getting 94 advertising requests (not on this page).

    Oddly, none of the scans with any of the software in 1-4 found anything from Ads not from this site. They all found stuff. But some of it has been on my HD for years.

    I attached a screen cap of the popup from the lower left corner of the screen. Note how it’s transparent, but you can still see the red close icon with white x. Occasionally a visible ad will appear. In this case the text on the webpage is visible without the ad running in the window. also attached is the Jumba ad from the higher on the page.

    One more note: I think I got hit by the java or flash update ploy Curlygirly in DC below mentions.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

  47. Hello,
    I would not recommend a tool that I would not personal use. You can search reviews for it, basically is a tool that is used by IT professional to easily remove unwanted programs. :)

  49. Thanks alot for the guide worked really well, I don’t even know how it got on my computer but the first program u suggested got rid of it.

  50. I consider myself pretty tech savvy and can’t remember the last time I ever had a virus. This thing sucker punched me when I thought I was allowing Java or Adobe update. The pop-ups were beyond obnoxious and I couldn’t click on anything without being overcome by the ads. Your article was easy to follow and seems to have resolved the issue. I could never have done this on my own. I’m sharing it with my friends and colleagues and will be making a donation as you saved me hours of headaches. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

  59. excellent piece of article!! This did of course solve my problem, however the hitman pro dunno why couldn’t delete the malicious files it had detected in the course of its scanning. Rest all seems perfectly poised to make this bunch of software a highly useful package.. Thanks once again!

  61. You have no idea about how helpful this article is . You are basically a life saver . Thank you very much for the priceless advice …

  62. I didn’t install and programs before getting these ads, in fact, I started getting them at work where the only program I installed in the past year was Chrome. I believe the issue for me was one of the extensions. I removed all of them and the ads stopped.

  65. THANK YOU SO MUCH! This not only got rid of the ads but it also fixed another issue I was having where I couldn’t watch videos on certain sites. (Netflix, IMDB, etc.) You my friend are amazing.

  66. One thing I think I had to remove from my addoes actually called itself “Youtube AdBlocker,” but was not at all associated with the actual Adblock Firefox addon. Keep your eyes peeled for this. And, thank you Stelian, this thing has been bugging me for a while now.

  68. Thanks Stelian,
    I ended up in your site looking to get rid of the “Ads not by this page”. I had to get rid of SK-enhancer and surf-and-keep.

  74. Thanks,… Very much help ful… I had some Add on Named “host”. Disabled and its working fine now

  76. Thank you for all of the help. I am one of the many students at my school who have this problem on there laptops. I will be sure to spread the word.

  78. Thanks a lot! One more question, please! Should we change all passwords now? As the extensions seemed to have “all rights over the browser”. Did they also collect the passwords, or the virus is not that smart?

  81. THANKS A TONN…..this really worked for me…..appreciate all the efforts from your side to put up all the information for others…..this surely works……thanks again.

  87. Thanks! Ads are gone after STEP 2, but I still went through all steps just to make sure I removed all PUP, adware or malware. Thank you so much dude!!! :D

  94. Holy crap!!! I feel like a computer repairman…..I can finally watch Tim Cameron bounce over rocks again and search ebay for Jeep parts. Yaaaaay!!!! Worked like a charm, was fixed after step 2. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

  101. worked after STEP 3! no more annoying ads!

    Used ADW cleaner and after 2 minutes… GONE!

    thanks a lot!

  102. Excellent, worked a charm! I had already performed a full system scan with NOD32 & used Malwarebytes but was still infected. Followed your recomendations & used Junkware Removal Tool, BAM…..Problems solved!! Thanks for the guide & links!

  103. Mine was called LyricFriend and I downloaded that by accident when I went to download Mozilla Firefox. The website was a fake and it looked exactly the same as the true Mozilla site.

  107. I came here looking to get rid of ads. What I got was deletion of adds, my regular home page appearing on starting up Firefox, disappearance of pop-up reminders on my computer, no more popup windows with random updates, Firefox no longer closing on me, and a lot of new knowledge on how to fix problems on my computer.
    I think I’m going to cry. I thought for sure I was going to lose my computer. I am so happy. THANK YOU!

  108. Stelian, thank you, thank you, thank you – these procedures rid my system of what was SO irritatingly invasive…I’ve bookmarked you, and will make a donation next paycheck. Your work and guidance are much appreciated.

  111. Hello,
    Yes, usually Chrome comes without any extensions.
    I highly recommend that you install AdBlocker and WOT as extensions, other than that are pretty much useless.

    Adblocker: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?hl=en (will remove ads from web sites)
    WOT: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wot/bhmmomiinigofkjcapegjjndpbikblnp?hl=en (will tell you how trustworthy a website is)

    Of course, these are optional, and Chrome will work perfectly without them. :D

    Stay safe!

  121. thank you sooooo much…I was freaking out cuz all those ads not by this site were clouding the websites I was on. I was looking for a Microsoft beta version to download and I guess I downloaded something I probably shouldn’t have. I’m not sure what I would have done without the advice this website gave me. Literally, thank you so much!

  123. Ok, I did everything except the junkware removal due to my antivirus stating a Trojan was attached to it… The pop up ads and stuff stopped but I still can’t use flash player… Is this a different virus? I even uninstalled the flash player and re installed it and it still won’t work :( Very frustrated.

  124. Didn’t work. Any of it. I’ve been trying to “System Restore” away, but there are no signs of the malware in anything you indicated here. Just the incredibly annoying adverts.

  127. Hello,
    Thank you. Recently there has been in increase in the number of infection caused by this adware.
    The extension might also have the following names: WebCake, AddLyrics, True Saver, Safe Saver, GetLyrics. SelectionLikns, Coupon Matcher and many more.
    As a good and general rule, if you have not installed an extension, you should remove it from your web browser.
    Stay safe!

  152. Wow!! that worked like a charm!! best ever, i don’t know where you got Adwcleaner from but that was great. i know that firefox is a very good search engine but it didnt see any of stuff Adwcleaner did, BRILLIANT!!

  159. I’m always a bit suspicious of these promises, but I tried the Malwarebytes option and it worked brilliantly. Thank you very much – it’s so refreshing to find that an offer of help is exactly that and not a con to get you to buy something or download more stuff on your computer. Thanks a million.

  162. Update to previous post. I installed HitmanPro 3.7.2 and performed a scan and it found all kinds of “247 ads not by this site” files. Very impressive! I thought Malwarebytes was the best malware program on the market, but I am going to have to rethink after seeing the difference between the two scans. Malwarebytes did not find any suspicious files.

  163. This has got to be one of the most obnoxious means of forcing an advertisement on a person that I have ever experienced. It is so intrusive….I wish they had laws against this sort of uninvited invasive access to my computer. They do it by “hook or crook!” I personally will boycott any product or business that advertises using this pathetic method!

    Thank you for the instructions on how to remove. Interesting, I have had Malwarebytes on my computer for years now and love it! However, it did nothing to prevent this from copying to my computer….it obviously did not detect it as malware. Additionally, I did a full system scan after the ads started showing up and it still did not detect any malicious files. I must have unwittingly given permission to install the malware when I was installing or updating another existing program.

    Boycott these bastards! I can’t believe this kind of advertising works! I guess most people aren’t smart enough to even notice that it is malware and assume it is just part of whatever web page they are looking at.

  164. I was a similar problem, but the solution was remove the complement “Save It” from Firefox complements.

  167. Thanks; just got new computer with Windows 8 and despite lots of security kept getting these ads …really annoying. Found a 215 apps programme (which I would never have known to look for), uninstalled it and (fingers crossed) all is well

  168. I was having a lot of trouble trying to uninstall Iminent. Turns out Coupon Companion is what I was missing, thanks for this guide
