i dont know if you have all had the adverts that i have been seeing, but please dont click on them. There have been complaints made to the Webmaster about the suitability and content so hopefully they will be removed very soon

thanks Very Happy

I have an ad blocker on Nortons that does a good job of getting rid of those ads. Very Happy

if you run Norton Internet Security 2007 you can get the add on security pack here.

You mean you click on the William Hill advert and only see real Williams?! Shocked

Seriously though - thank you for the warning... I haven't been afflicted, but it's good to be aware.

I use Maxthon browser instead of IE, it has it's own built in ad blocker so I don't see any of these ads thumbsup

I've not heard of that... I use Avant, so maybe if it's down to browser that's why I haven't had the problem.

I already have an add blocker on my nortons sortware but checking on google there seems to be a lot of blockers available. You might also find that your ISP has one you can use.

I don't know if any one can recommend a safe one to use for those members who are having problems with the ads at the moment.

It's worth seeing if you get an Ad Blocker on your anti virus programme, and checking that it's turned on Very Happy

Or swap to Firefox (www.mozilla.org) as your primary browser.

Comes with a built in popup blocker and you can add things like a script blocker / IE emulator (and a gazillion other addons) direct from mozilla... not to mention tabbed browsing.

Or, if you don't want to stop using IE, you could do worse than install the google toolbar (toolbar.google.com), complete with google search and a popup blocker.

Or, any of a number of proprietry programmes to do the job.

I use the opera browser - which has a "block content" option when you right click on a page, you can then block the adverts, or peoples signatures/tickers etc if you want - does speed up page loading times slightly too.
