Annoying advertising
« on: September 29, 2014, 07:38:08 pm »
Perhaps I picked up a bug, am I the only one that is getting annoying advertising or is everybody being plagued by extra pop-up messages and being referred off to other websites for free this and free that?

Run Malwarebytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and all you'll need is the freeware one. Also run an Antivirus scan of your PC with updated virus definitions.
