Are You Seeing Ads on Wikipedia? It Could Be Malware. The extension you installed on your browser could be injecting ads into your favorite websites — even the ones that never feature advertising at all.

You have to know exactly where to look for it, and how to pull it without causing damage to other important components of your system. Urge President Correa to Grant Asylum to Julian Assange.
