I have started getting constant ads on here and on my laptop as I switch it on. Does anyone know how I get rid of them please ?

I have got Addblock. I kept getting ads about funerals and dating sites, and I am not interested in either of those. Although it was possible to get rid of them for a while they always came back after a few days … so I uploaded Addblock. Now I don't get any ads at all on any sites I look at, and it's much better :)

Hywel, I use Addblock Plus and lately I have had a few ads creeping through on Outlook so I've found that from time to time it is necessary to update with the latest version.

It's well worth getting one or two free clean-up utilities & running them once a week or so. They'll clear most of the little files that get dropped onto your hard drive when web surfing. Ccleaner is a good one but look at a reputable computer repair website for other, up-to-date, free apps

In addition to adblock I would recommend using the 'diskcleanup' tool that came built into the operating system if you are on a Windows platform. It's on the c drive in the system tools folder.

All that sounds too complicated for me. I have never had any trouble with addblock. I haven't seen an advert for years.

I have to say I'm really not aware of the ads, a bit like crying babies, I don't register them either!
