Ads

Is it just me, or has there been a sudden increase in spontaneous full-window ads, usually appearing two at a time? It's driving me nuts.

If you use Firefox, you should try installing Adblock Plus, it will get rid of those ads!

I do actually have Adblock Plus; I didn't know it worked on full-page ads! Thanks! I'll try that! :)

For me it works, maybe you just have to update your filters/add a new one :D

Use NoScript. It gets rid of those full page ads. Also, I don't know why they use those type of ads because cross-site scripting ads are a security vulnerability.

That's why I type in the Adblock URL and activate it before I go anywhere near anything else on the site.

on top of Adblock, I also downloaded Malwarebyte's anti-malware to stop the stupid click-jacking pop-ups that were on FF a few months ago...

These are back, at least for me -- how did malaware help you get rid of them? Or did it just help you clean up your startup/registry/cookies after the fact?

it will warn/block some sites, and will clean up the registry. I really like Malwarebytes as an extra piece of insurance.
When I just had Adblock some click-jack stuff would still get by.

See, I have malawarebytes and it doesn't work as a preventative, but maybe I don't have the most updated version? Don't know, I just seem to be annoyed by them constantly on ff.net, especially when I'm trying to apply the adblock.

Firefox + Adblock

Firefox+Adblock works wonders, but since the site needs the income to stay up I tolerate the adds for this site

What I don't like is that they changed from 3 days of no ads to everyday. I tried to email them about it to see if they will change, but they never answered back.
