With this new computer - for some reason it won't let me install AdBlock on my Google Chrome.
So I keep getting pop up ads on this site.....driving me crazy.
How do I stop them?
I don't mind the banner ads up top - but the pop ups with video and sound are too much....

You shouldn't be getting any popup ads on this site, Proboards don't allow them. Report them to Proboards: like this or on the Support boardAlso make sure you haven't got any malware that's causing it. |

You have malware. It's hopped along when you downloaded something and it's giving you automatic popups on sites that should not have them. I've had it happen to me a few times when my kids downloaded and installed something without checking with me first. They can be hard to get rid of, but generally the pop up ad ones you can do yourself. You need to figure out the name of the program and then uninstall it. You'll find once your malware is gone you'll be able to install your ad blocker.

Thanks to DH - he downloaded a few "sketch" program trials....sigh And I hate the McAfee trial with this new computer. Installing AVG now to get rid of the damn malware hopefully and get on with life! |
