| 1326707 | 2013-02-04 06:49:00 | This afternoon I started getting "Header " adverts on this site. Dick Smith, Google Chrome etc. This is the first time in many years. I have had a couple of other peculiarities in the last couple of days, and am wondering what has changed. Any ideas...? I am on the latest Firefox and Adblock Plus isn't helping. It's not a biggy but has me wondering whether to start CCleaner, Malware Bytes etc. |

| 1326709 | 2013-02-04 08:02:00 | A re-check of Adblock Plus settings showed an option "allow unobtrusive advertising" had been ticked. Correcting this cleared the problem. Another computer type mystery as I certainly didn't check it. May help someone else....? |

| 1326710 | 2013-02-04 10:34:00 | Since the FF Adblock Plus 2.0, from the begining of 2012 - the "allow unobtrusive ads to pass through the filter" has been on by default and was added to Chrome default a couple months or so ago However - I have left mine ticked - but I have still never seen any Dick Smith etc type ads? |
