Make sure in the blocking options that you're blocking all trackers and cookies

I've greatly reduced this type of thing. I have Google Chrome with the free AdBlock installed. I also use ESET NOD32 Antivirus and can add URL's to a block list. If i spot a pop-up or pop-under, or some other junk I don't want to see, I cut/paste the domain name to the block list.

As time goes on, and more dodgy domains were added, I learned to use wildcards too so *.domain.name blocks any sub-domains of that domain name.

It works for me

I had similar problems recently; so I also downloaded Ad Muncher, now that I have checked back for recent installations of that nature.

Those ads, particularly the flashing/jumping ones are a real annoyance, particularly as all too often, they are for items etc that I have no interest in.

Cheers, T. I've started doing that now..

Hi ecky,
Installed the ad-muncher - it just blots out the ad itself, leaving munches everywhere! It certainly "munches" - which I then delete - but I'd prefer the bl**dy things not to get there in the first place!
Cheers, les.

Sure. Cheers, Les.

Strange!

I did not encounter that effect.

Yep, a little weird!
With the gambling page, it completely obliterated the advertising content - name of company/odds etc, but left about 4 "munchers" over the page. I still had to click close, though. At least the most irritating part has gone - the gaudy advert itself. I can't show you what I mean, as the bl**dy advert has yet to show its face since this afternoon!
Cheers, Les.

Sounds like you've got some crapware installed.

Offers toolbars, etc.

I see this kind of thing quite regularly with ads sometimes being injected into pages that contain no advertising.

If you don't actively use the functionality provded by the toolbar, get rid and if you do, well, there no such thing as a free lunch.

To be fair, the advertisers may not be aware of their ads being distributed in this way and may not be happy about it.

I have tried to get rid of these gambling full web pages with Ghostery, but without success. Has anyone found a better solution?

The pages typically appear late in the evening when my computer has been left idle for sometime.
