Ad Blocker

Hi all,

Not sure if this is correct section for this question.............

Currently running PC Guard from Virgin media & recently ( following a couple of updates ) ads have started appearing when veiwing web sites. In addition, any images that used to appear on sites which I need to view only appear as a red box.

I have now switched off ad blocker & images now appear on sites, however, annoying ads still appear.

Anyone had this issue before & any reccommendations? Contacted Virgin support but they were not able to help.

Thanks.

Re: Ad Blocker

I'm on Virgin Media and i have tried their PC Guard Software and tbh it's not very good, i would recommend uninstalling it and installing AVG Anti-Virus Free Editiion and COMODO Personal Firewall

Re: Ad Blocker

For the meanwhile (uninstall thats software) install something that will block all the malware like Comodo Firewall, Spybot Search and Destroy, Spyware Guard and an anti-virus like avast or AVG (all free).

Otherwise your situation will deteriorate.
