Anybody else is getting unexpected advertising? Not in this forum (apart from the usual)... I mean in other sites such as youtube or facebook where there wasn't any of this kind before.
I don't know if it could be something in my computer or what... I don't even know if that's possible

For Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
It works
I don't even see the ads I used to see here
(I hope it does not block other things)

That site only allows me to download it. However in the other site (for firefox) I run the application and that's how it worked

Re: Advertising
You need to 'save' the program - this'll download the installer to your hard disc; then when the download completes, 'run' the installer program to install the ad-block program.blue moon wrote:Thanks felix...do I want to 'run' or 'save' the program?felix wrote:Isa and Moonie

I see that the initial download installs a 30-day trial version ... so it'll stop working after a month if you don't pay for it, I'm guessing.
I'm also having trouble with the initial configuration screen of the program! (Like, I can't configure it 'cos it 'hangs' while trying to download some .png picture, ffs! )
So I'd say 'use it if it works for you', but beware, it doesn't work for everybody (ie, me!! )

Re: Advertising
Do you both use internet explorer?
I think Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome are much better. Internet Explorer is very slow... or at least for me

Re: Advertising
Thanks for the research and advice felix. I'm going to just continue to ignore the ads, though. I'm afraid of inviting anything into my computer.
Yes asdf, I use explorer. For no other reason than because it's familiar.
