Title: Pop up ad blocking Post by: 4D on Sunday, January 12, 2014, 22:40:09 My computer has suddenly got a shedload of ads popping up, they are pissing me off. Anyone know how to get rid? I changed the windows settings to block all, but I keep getting them :crash:

Also don't know if it helps but If you use Firefox as a browser and have the adblock plus addon it stops you getting any ads coming up. Title: Re: Pop up ad blocking Post by: Bewster on Sunday, January 12, 2014, 23:53:02 I also used Lavasoft and Spybot - both very good

Keep pressing F8 when you start up your PC.

A useful addition to Adblock and a clean-out via Malwarebytes. Ghostery is also a good tool to use if you're interested in working out who's tracking you on certain websites. Spybot Search+Destroy has always served me well, adblock is a must for your web browser. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Pn1YrBTbA8 Title: Re: Pop up ad blocking Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, January 13, 2014, 11:18:00 Somebody has been surfing for porn havent they 4D.

I had a quick look at manic miner for the first time in about 30 years, I always thought the graphics were better than the version I recently tried. ??? Title: Re: Pop up ad blocking Post by: Chubbs on Monday, January 13, 2014, 19:41:41 Stop watching so much porn
