Anyone know why i'm getting these ads?? Piccy inside - Andy annear - 05-02-2014

Hi all,
Recently on the forum, and ebay and similar sites im getting all these ads popping up all the time, sometimes they come out of the side of my screen and others it highlights things as pictured with a hyperlink to some shit:

I have tried putting my internet privacy settings things upto max, and 'unscribing' from their pikey websites but still happening,

Cheers

My bet is that cully hit the nail on the head. Wink

Hitman Pro is a cloud based virus scan, and has a 30 day free trial, and ive found it quite handy in the past on various people's computers. Smile

What do you mean by extensions? Running scans now, i use chrome if you didnt notice from piccy Smile

Open tab
Type chrome://extensions/
See what you have

If there's something there that isn't meant to be, you can reset chrome to a "factory" setting

Having to squint at the screenshot, looks like shopodo, which is pretty much malware. It's a relatively new domain anyway, set up in Jan and prob won't last very long :p

If your really lucky, you get extensions where after you delete them, they come back...
