Whitney in KY Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I have a ton of pop up ads on my computer and this is a new thing. I am afraid to "download" something when I google how to get rid of them, because I don't know it is safe. Any suggestions to getting rid of them, safely?

VaKim Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 What browser are you using? Most have a pop up blocker extension that you can use. I know Safari and Firefox do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitney in KY Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 I am using Chrome. I'll check to see if they do. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandamom Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 OK, can you tell me what an extention is? I am baffled. I use adblock plus on chrome and it works pretty well. An extension is a small program that you add to your browser to change it in some way. Here is adblock plus for chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessAriel Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 We also use adblock plus on chrome and we are quite satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Another vote for Adblock plus -- we use it on Firefox and it's taken away ALL ads, not just popups. When you're on a webpage like yahoo or Facebook, there are NO ads on the sidebars or at the top of the page. LOVE it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
