pop up prob. Maybe?

All of a sudden when I click on a site or predominantly on something like a thread in a forum, I get the address in the bar and also a second address to the right and up pops an add for something.

When I click on the popped up side X in the address bar it will close and the place I wanted to got to will appear.

This is a new deal for us and surely can be remedied.

Advice will be appreciated.

    thanx

    It's easy ...

    1. Go to Mozilla.org.

    2. Download and install Firefox.

    3. During the installation process, make Firefox your primary browser.

    4. Go to Firefox add-ons.

    5. Download and install AdBlock Plus.

    6. Wave good-bye and good riddance to all of the ads.
  • Use "Ghostery" also to block all the "Tracking Cookies", where on some web sites may amount to 12 or 20.

    I have used this for some years now and the listed items keeps growing.

    with our constant worry about being tracked for one reason or another it is always a good idea to try and make yourself as invisible as possible.
