Sounds like your computer is infected with adware. Uninstalling and reinstalling Palemoon won't help, because Palemoon isn't the problem. Update your antivirus and whatever other antimalware you've got, and start doing some scans.

You should still run a scan for malware, just deleting the stuff doesn't mean that you got rid of the crap. Maybe you just removed the symptom and not the actual cause of the problem.
