Think its a pop up
Can anyone advise me as to how I can stop these damn adverts apppearing on my screen. I think they are called pop ups but not sure.

What happens is when I access a page on HDRCGB a big advert for some Casino, Mortgage or Dating site appears for no reason.

Any ideas appreciated.

I've installed all of them and keep them regularly updated, but Rory still keeps asking me for money. What should I do?

Use Firefox as your browser (it's free), also Kerio firewall. What one don't the get the ther will.

I don't get any popups, well not on the screen
