Whats the website of yellow free ads?

How do I get rid of these unwanted ads?

  • So for the past 2 days now I've been having these ads, almost like adware, pop on websites that I usually don't have problems with adds (like facebook or yahoo or youtube). I know these ads aren't sponsored by the websites I go on because they say in small print at the bottom that the website doesn't sponsor the ads are usually a little pornographic (i.e. come talk to these girls and do whatever for free blah blah blah). Now I haven't been to any porn sites or downloaded anything weird so I don't know whats going on or how to get rid of these annoying ads. I download a legit anti-adware software but it hasn't done much as of yet AND I have Norton Anti-virus. What do I do?

  • Answer:

    You can use Ad Blocker. For firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ad-blocker/ For chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb

Browser 'pop-up blockers' are lightweight, thin as a Shōji door defense, and advertisers (legit & malware purveyors) know how to get by those very easily. Users must boost their own defenses these days. Browsers are doing what they are designed & configured to do automatically, which is; reach out to the 'Net and bring back all the 'assets' it encounters (including advertising), then display them. You must modify your browsers 'automatic' behavior so it restricts what gets returned, for both security and privacy. Get Firefox as your default browser & use it for everyday tasks. The following mods help, but methods ("vectors") are dynamic, and users must stay abreast of daily threats. FIREFOX: Tools> Options> Privacy> top drop menu set to "Firefox will use custom settings..."> Check 'Accept Cookies from sites' ►Un-Check 'Accept 3rd Party cookies'. [ For refined control in FF 11, type " about:config " (sans quote) in the URL> in the search field, type " network.cookie.thirdparty.session " > double click that to yield "true"> close window.] A good collection of effective add-on's (Official Mozilla) is here: https://addons.mozilla.org/collections/dunbar-pappy/dunbarpappy/ AdBlock Plus (with 'subscription' added) & "Better Privacy" also help defray rubbish. ►► At minimum, get the #1 item for malware prevention: "NoScript", which constrains automagically fetching & deployment of potentially tainted assets. [Bookmark and refer to this page for how it works, and how to use it...very straight forward; http://noscript.net/features#contentblocking INTERNET EXPLORER does not handle 3rd party assets very well (or anything else) and won't give nearly the control as Firefox. It is garbage. Use to your own demise.
