ad blocker

charltonbob · February 2014

I have started getting loads of ads popping up on my laptop advising that my pc is running slow & also back up is available now etc etc.
Can anybody suggest an adblocker to use please? I don't have google chrome & don't want it so the chrome adblocker is out.
Thanks for any help

Just look for an ad-blocker for the browser you use.

Yes I checked google ad blocker but the only ones that came up looked a bit dodgy. I'll have another look tomorrow, thanks anyway

Firefox ad blocker I uploaded yesterday worked a treat. Just typed firefox adblocker and got it.

Many thanks for that, I'm a slight technophobe but I've partly resolved the situation.
I was trying to find a stream for mondays cup game & clicked on one suggested on here & it was asking me to download this & that which I didn't do & decided to listen to Radio 5 live instead. However clicking on the "stream" seemed to invite a whole heap of add ons/programmes which were throwing adds at me. I decided to go through my programmes & found a load of stuff "installed/added" on monday. Deleted all that I didn't need ran a virus scan & everything is back to normal.

Thanks for your help, I'll install the IE adblocker ;-)
all best

I dont want to put ad blocker on as i know it helps the site but what has happened to the ads on here. They have doubled in size! Looks awful sat at my desk looking at all the flipping shopping websites ive been looking at.
