Browsers Hijacked

[Brian1951]

I ran Spybot. It found a malware. I clicked FIX it was "fixed" but my browsers IE 11 and Firefox 27.0.1 are still showing Adware and Forged Web Pages when I open tabs. With Firefox the native Forged Web Page/Malware Site warning is engaged. When I click to close the tab that's when an adware tab and window open up. It is also triggering Pop Up Blocker.Firefox Popup .jpg

How do I get rid of this?
