disgusting, classless ads on my email

@ Old Grumpy

Advertisers may collect data about your online browsing activity and use it to show you targeted ads (a process known as "behavioral advertising"). It doesn't just happen with emails. I love to shop on Amazon so every time I log into my email or Facebook I always see ads for the items I searched. Hope this helps. 

Hi

I'm not clear exactly what you term ''ads'' ( spam emails or popups or both) or what your qualifiers are when you label them disgusting but you may have Adware and/or Spyware on your system. I run 3-5 malware scanners routinely. Hopefully these small tips will help.

 If it was me I would start by downloading and running Adwarecleaner from Toolslib.net https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ It finds what antivirus apps don't. Also Hitman Pro is a good one and they have a 30 day free trial. I also run Ccleaner which is a great app to clean up the cookies, trackers and other little nasty things  that are constantly broadcasting your info every time you click a link. BUT be careful and use the built in "Create restore point before cleaning''  option in case you delete a good guy file.

Good luck

Use Mozilla Firefox and install the AdBlock Plus Add-On, AdBlock Plus for IE does not work very well.

Not only will you not see the Ads, Ads on YouTube and many other websites will not play before the content.
