Ads

A question about : Ads

Is it just me or do there seem to be keyword pop up ads all over the forum tonight?

I do hope this is not going to continue as its going to really annoy me and i will stop using the forum if it continues.

Best answers:

• None at all here.
  There should never ever be any on the forum, so I suspect you have acquired some adware/malware on your PC or device. That is the usual cause in these cases.
• Yep think the kids been installing stuff again .
• Yes, that could well be the case.
• Lol it was the case, damn thing was a pain to remove.
  Still her own lappy will be back up today so my comp should be ok.
• I'm not sure how effective they are, but these programs block a huge number of malware-related domains. You need to manually update the free versions, but it should provide some protection:

  Spybot: https://www.safer-networking.org/
  And, if you use Firefox or Chrome, you can install the AdBlock-Plus add-on and add the "malware domains" blocklist.
