Get off line to clear advertisements
When I come into TFL I click on New Posts and get a screen of advertisements.
Okay, so you have ads. I don’t mind advertisements. It’s a way of supporting the site. However, the only way I can get away from that screen of ads is to get off line and then come back. This second time I don’t get the ads. What I do mind is having to go off line and then come back. Is it how my computer is set up, or what?

I don't think TFL has ads...I've never seen them nor do I recall others mentioning them. Have you cleared your cookies?

Don H,
Well, I’m getting them. Yes, I’ve cleared cookies, all of them and I still get them. What’s odd is that after getting off line and coming back on I don’t get the ads that time.

Clay,
We don't have ads on TFL. What you have, though, is a piece of spyware, malware, whatever, that has attached itself to your computer and is driving the pop up ads. We get questions about this occasionally. Malwarebytes is a very good piece of software for dealing with this.

See the sticky post in this forum? Web and Browser security?
https://thefiringline.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=368640 Cookies don't create ads. Unwanted browser plugins and/or malware do.
