I don't know whether I'm on the right board for a computer question. If I'm not, could you please tell me which board I should be on.

Yesterday my hubby completely cleared out my computer and I am starting from scratch. My worst problem is that I have the flashing adverts back on various websites (including this one) and I can't remember how I have finally managed to get rid of them in the past. I have got full Norton protection and I have the pop up blocker that is under tools set to high but still they flash and they give me a headache.

Thank you
Chrissie

Hi Chrissie,

You can get rid of them on here by coming into the site by .com instead of .co.uk.

Thanks for that Michael, I had one site that they were really annoying me on and now gone, brilliant.

Thank you Michael. The adverts have stopped flashing, apart from the one at the bottom, but they are still there. I don't know what I have done in the past but whatever it was the adverts went completely. Much better though, thank you again.

Hi Michael

I have been into Norton but I can't get into the firewall, it just says that it is on. I can't find any add blocker. I think that may be what I used to do to get rid of the adverts. I seem to remember that my old Norton had lots of places that you could go in and adjust various things. Thank you for all your advice. I think I shall have to e-mail Norton.

Thanks again
Chrissie
