adware

I'm suddenly getting tons of ads popping up everywhere. I'll be reading an article and it keeps bouncing around as new ads populate the page. How can I get rid of this? I tried the Malware Bytes scan and it found nothing.

AdblockPlus solved my problem immediately.

I use Adblock Plus and that works very well.

Download and use malwarebytes, its possible you may have some adware installed on your computer.

How do you use Adblock or Adblocker?

Merely download and install. All else is automatic. In just two months it has reported blocking 56,000+ ads.

Using a good VPN can also help in this area. “Private Internet Access” and “NordVPN” both have adblocking, malware and phishing blocking as part of their service.

I installed Adblock and it seems to have helped. Would installing Adblockplus be redundant?

Good question. I'm going to try both as well and see. If one interferes with the other I will dump Adblock.
