The computer doesn't even have Flash installed yet still gets ads through JW Player. This is really annoying as they have audio. It has Adblock Plus installed but doesn't block JW Player ads, like on this website:
Here is a screen shot of the ad I'm referring to, circled in red. Since it's a video it moves and have audio. Do other people see it?
This site seems to think JW Player is a virus, but I don't think it is. I'm fine with fully disabling it, if possible.
Also, is there anyway for ABP to be more robust and resilient to sites like which break the site if ABP is detected?

Go to Adblock options, advanced, your filters, add the following-
||jwplayer.com^
||jwcdn.com^
||content.jwplatform.com^Not sure which one worked, but it seems to work for me.
1To disable jwplayer in firefox -> Open Firefox -> about:config -> in URL browser Accept the risk, search for media.autoplay.enabled. Change from true to false
0The JW player doesn't show the browser menu. Right-click elsewhere on the page and choose the "Block an ad on this page" option. Then adjust the slider to the right until the JW player is no longer visible. Done!
1You can report issues such as "ads not being blocked" through Adblock Plus by clicking on its icon and selecting "Report issue on this page...".
However, in case you do have malware on your computer, Adblock Plus (or other ad blockers) can't help you with this problem. For that you could run Malwarebytes to check for anything suspicious that might inject those ads.
jwplayer is just a html5 player, it doesn't install on your computer.
I'm using firefox with ublock, and doesn't see the ads in your link.
just add this line to your adBlock filter
The uBlock Origin plugin completely blocks JWPlayer. It is similar to AdBlock and ABP.
