When I play online games my internet connection goes off every time a new ad loads interrupting the game.If the ad happens to me a "moving" or animated ad, the game lags or freezes. Is it my PC, internet connection, or the site itself?

You need protection!

Switch to firefox and get the ad-blocker plug in. Also free avast isn't that bad for preventing threats. Best bet is to get both after you do a full re-install, you've probably got an awesome amount of malware and may be an unwilling part of a bot net.

I have Cox security powered by McAfee. It says my pc is secure and I have all the protection I need. I have firefox 33.0 and it is worse now than ever. I believe I have ad blocker plug-in but I will double check.

You can add ghostery plug in also. It will block ads but adblocker is better but it also block a lot of the tracking scripts and other useless stuff that runs. You will be surprised the amount of junk that is running.

It also depends on the game. Some of these ads are run by the games themselves. These tend to be a little harder to block without disabling the game since they come from the gaming company rather than a ad company.
