Renault advertisements

[alanporter]

Can anything be done to stop those damned Renault car advertisements that keep popping up on my computor screen when I am perusing these forums ? They irritate me so much that I wouild never buy one of those cars. So much for the power of advertising, when the ads turn customers off.

There was a thread about this not so long ago. The answer is yes; there's a software called web washer (' don't know the URL but a search on the net should find it easily enough). However, I found it rather slowed my browser, although that may have been a subjective reaction.
Hope this helps.

Pop-up stopper....

.....is freeware from Panicware.com

The trouble is that it not only stops pop-up's, it also seems to stop links that open up a new window. Unless Ive not set the thing up properly!

Norton Personal Firewall has very good ad blocking. I never see any ads on this site, though I used to. You can configure it to get rid of difficult ones too, by opening up a kind of trash can and dragging ads into it. Then the firewall analyses the ad and blocks it for the future. And if you're not using a firewall, you should in case some toe rag scans your ports or gets a trojan onto your machine.

Search for Adshield, it helps.

Switch 'em off.

Depends on your browser as to how you do it.

Don't complain - it's the money from the advert which allows us to use the board for free.

Stop buying Renaults. Cure the cause not the sympton!

Re: Pop-up stopper....

You can temporarily disable it by holding the Shift or Ctrl key down as you click - this allows a new screen to open. Alternatively, if you can see the icon in your tray by the clock, double click it to change the red cross to grey (I think - it's a bit small) then it is disabled.

You can adjust 'Preferences' by right clicking on the icon. Right clicking also allows you to access the help page.

Yes, you can. Download the new browser from mozilla.

One of the settings stops all pop-up windows from opening automatically.
