Lpmxp10.com Pop-up Ads Removal

I’ve recently downloaded some font styles from the Internet and found out some programs in control panel- I don’t remember installing them. And then whenever I open Firefox, I get Lpmxp10.com pop-up on the affected browser and cannot get rid of it. I run AVG scan and it tells me the computer is clean, but I know there must be some viruses in my computer. Is there any way I can remove all of them?
