I have the Browse to Save adware. I don’t have the slightest idea how it even got here, but it doesn’t show up in the extensions or appearance sections of Firefox’s add-ons menu, I deleted something that looked like it from my uninstall programs list, but that didn’t work, and I have run Spybot and restarted the computer, still to no avail. Please help. I know it doesn’t actually hurt anything, but it’s already extremely obnoxious.
