Why am I getting bloody pop ups all the time now. I get a search sidebar and a bloody flashing ad down the bottom telling me I have a message waiting or I have won something and I can't get rid of the crap !! Oh look I've just won an Ipad !! Now it wants to know my favourite supermarket - What a load of @#$&! shit !!

I downloaded Ad block after a recommendation from a member and now they are gone.

That's strange. I have never seen an ad on this site of any kind and I don't have any ad blockers on my computer.

What are you viewing the forum in?

Same here, no ads, no problems.

There are computer viruses which can insert advertisments into webpages at the browser level.
I would suggest a virus scan as a first step.

I get them every time I look at Yesteryears with full boots and large headlamps...

There are no ads on this forum Mick, I would suggest it's a virus picked up from another site,

Gone now - don't know where they came from but as soon as I opened up here they came from everywhere. Never had a virus on my comp as usually to well protected and thought at first a browser hijacker but no, all was the same. Hadn't looked at porn in a while so not that either !! I just ended up doing a system restore and all was fine again.
I couldn't open a post, as soon as I got rid of the ads and clicked on a new post they started again - go figure !

Good news ..Glad you sorted it..................Now come and do mine..

I was infected with one of these virus ads before. It sounds like a piece of malware that has attached itself to your computer. I tried a variety of things and eventually there was only one thing that would delete it off. It is called "malwarebytes". It is totally free, but does a really good job of scanning for these types of things. Cleared it right off, and I have never had anything since.
