1469998 2020-06-30 09:19:00 I am getting a lot of ads that pop up in the bottom right of the screen on a regular basis and would like to know how to stop them. It's becoming annoying.

Thanks for your help.:thanks

1469999 2020-06-30 09:54:00 ads in web browser? what browser? pc or mobile?

I use ublock or adblock ultimate, both are good for web browsers.

You can also use adblock proxies which blocks known ip addresses of advertising networks, which can stop ads in apps.

I'll give ublock a try, then,

Thanks for your help, Kame.

1470002 2020-06-30 19:25:00 Another vote for uBlock gary67 (56)
1470003 2020-06-30 21:25:00 Ublock.

But in Firefox at least, you can right click and select block element. Select the popup and create.
That removes those annoying things that come up (pay requests and such) on sites you use regularly.

1470004 2020-07-02 00:39:00 Yeah, the latest Firefox is pretty good at blocking many ads and trackers. Malwarebytes has additional ad/tracker blocking which covers the rest quite nicely. Paul.Cov (425)

That did not work. They are still coming up, they slide in bottom right corner. They have the website en.softonic.com on each one.

1470007 2020-07-06 18:40:00 Sounds like you have downloaded software from Softonic and have been caught with their added on unwanted software

Run Awdcleaner toolslib.net as this gets rid of unwanted programs and Malware
