Default How Do Get Rid Of "Consumers-Feedback.org"?

This program keeps popping up on many of the web pages I visit.
"Consumers-Feedback.org" is annoying, but I can't seem to get rid of
it.
I'm using WinXP-3 & Firefox. Any hints?

You must have a malware of some kind on your system. However, what you
can do now is to block that domain permanently by entering this in your
hosts file:

127.0.0.1 Consumers-Feedback.org
127.0.0.1 www.Consumers-Feedback.org

The other suggestions you got are great advice. But I'd recommend
getting a copy of Spybot SD (free). Run it. You probably have spyware
on your system. Spybot should clean it up. Also be sure you dont have
any of the many addon toolbars installed. Those damn things are in much
of the software you download and can be gotten in many other ways. You
could also try to disable Java Script, then go to one of the sites that
is causing this annoyance to appear. If it's stops, it's loaded by
scripts.
