Adverts

Will someone please explain to me in words of two syllables how I get rid of the awful adverts which appear across the top of my screen and on the right hand side. I’ve tried everything…but they’re still there and some of them are quite nasty.

Terra, do you know?....If so please tell me too..:>)

Adblock might help some members.
It depends on your internet system etc.
Google Adblock and take a look.
I hope this helps :o)
3 Nov, 2012
Oh, thank goodness! Thanks Terra, I didn't know you could get rid of them. I've just downloaded Adblock, and it works a treat! Halleluia! :)
3 Nov, 2012
And Thank you Waddy for asking the question! :)
3 Nov, 2012
:o)))

Oh wow I just downloaded Adblock too, thank you both, I thought you had to put up with the ads on the top right.
3 Nov, 2012
Pleased to help.
Nice to be in touch with you all again.
3 Nov, 2012
I lost the ads on the right of my email too so I am very pleased.
3 Nov, 2012
Terra...you are a marvel..thank you so much!
3 Nov, 2012
Glad this has been useful to you.
Nice that you are around on GoY.
Not heard from some of you lately.

Made our day Waddy - same buzz one gets with a bargain!

It's nice to have an uncluttered computer screen, especially for those with poor eyesight ...

I have just downloaded it as well, I had already tried with the ads preference one and got rid of some only for them to be replaced with different ads one of which was the dementia one,thanks Terra....
3 Nov, 2012
Hi Sue...
Glad adblock has worked for you too :o)
3 Nov, 2012
I will try that. I've just bought a new laptop and now when I change pages or go back, it takes me to an advert. Don't know if it's me inadvertantly clicking on an advert, but it is getting really annoying, so I will try this adblock.
3 Nov, 2012
You have to laugh, I appear to have got rid of more ads except the dementia one, it just won`t get the message that I DON`T WANT IT...
3 Nov, 2012
Lol. Maybe reload the Adblock one more time ...
to get your message across .. ;o)
3 Nov, 2012
This Adblock thingy sounds useful - I must try it. I just thought one had to learn to live with it. Mind you, all mine are in Italian, so my brain doesn't bother with them too much! Thank you, Waddy and Terra. (Aren't you knowledgeable?)
3 Nov, 2012
Good luck, Gattina ...
let us know how you get on with those Italian ads. ... :o)
3 Nov, 2012
Thank you Waddy and TT - I'm going to try adblock. Some of those ads are irritating.
3 Nov, 2012
Hywel ...
I hope adblock works on your computer.
3 Nov, 2012
So do I :o) I'll try it tomorrow.
3 Nov, 2012
Horray!!!....Thank you very much Terra xx
3 Nov, 2012
OMG! It works! Thank you, Terra! Brilliant!
3 Nov, 2012
I'm delighted this has worked for you all ...

4 Nov, 2012
I`ve just downloaded google chrome Terra, I had successfully removed some ads but others insisted on sharing my pages, when I arrived on this blog a few mins ago, lo and behold there were photo`s of oriental ladies across the top instead of yesterdays memory loss ad, I still have my sense of humour, we`ll get there soon I think, lol....
4 Nov, 2012
Sue ..
you'll get there by sheer determination ! ;o)
4 Nov, 2012
Free at last thanks to the question from Waddy and the info from Terra. Bless you both.
4 Nov, 2012
Glad to have helped :o)))
4 Nov, 2012
OH GOSH, I jigged about all over the place, no nasty ads, think I`ve done it, I now have what I take to be spellchecker as well, never managed to get that before, thanks Terra....
4 Nov, 2012
OMG Sue ..
You'll be whizzing around GoY now ! ;o)
4 Nov, 2012
LOL, won`t be beaten with the help I get on here, the books always confuse me, lol....
4 Nov, 2012
Thanks for your help Terra..and to those who have found it all useful..you're welcome.
Just a final point, I've found you need to restart your computer, you then need to open your 'explorer' using Firefox and not the 'e' symbol otherwise the ads are still there.
5 Nov, 2012
Sounds a good thing this adblock Terratoonie, I shall have to try it. Many thanks. You have become very popular with this!!
6 Nov, 2012
