where are all these intrusions coming from?

last week i had al jazeera ad.on tv.page.

now this morning i have a message on every page of tv,

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

YOUR PC.PERFORMANCE IS POOR [FIX NOW]

They are probably just GoogleAds, but of course the latest one could be a sneaky message from george suggesting you improve the quality of your posts. (If that is the case I'm expecting the same soon)

Yep, just google doing its thing boyo! Maybe run a malware program just in case.

meatboy ... great OP ...

Clear, concise ... full of punctuation.

A job well done.

Now, just some friendly advice ... what ever you do ... don't 'Click Here' to improve performance.

If you have a Virus checker, update it then scan your computer.

Ditto if you have Anti-Malware

It's just not the internet that can transfer a virus ... little Somchi used a memory stick on my computer to show me some photo ... it had 3 Trojans (really bad viruses) sitting dormant on the stick ... waiting for a new infection ... my computer ...

thanks dai for coming to my rescue again i have only got an anti-mag and she lives in gifach goch.

as for a virus checker i have only a b.p.checker.

viruses on a stick that could be the one i hit the wife with.

havent had any infection since pattaya 1982,83,84,85

They post ads for products that some algorithm deduces you'd be interested in based on key words you have typed in, including posts and searches.

Last month, for weeks on end, there was this photo of some freaking grandpa on every dam_n page I loaded. Geezer stared at me with a look on his face something between total confusion and having a bowel movement in public.

Annoyed the hell out of me.

For the life of me though, I can't remember ever using the word Alzheimer's.

EDIT: correcting the spell checker. Again.

If I get p1ssed off with the ads, I normally delete the cookies & internet history from your browser. Temp internet files are also a 'good-to-go' as well. This gets rid of their source/evaluation of your internet preferences.

Of course it could be malware/virus/Trojan/worm but these are normally aggressive and one directional.

thanks guys i shall use a cleaner now,bit late replying been watching the golf.

I too got the ad saying my PC is slow.

I'm not against ads, but the problem with this one is that it's a blatant lie, and the banner has the goal of selling some paid malware to computer-illiterate people.

I think Google ads gives editors a way to exclude some advertisers, maybe that's something to explore in order to put an end to that scam?

i have tried to block this,[your pc is poor] but to no avail and also used a cleaner.i dont mind if its now and then but its popping up on every page.

I browse the web all the time, and I never see a single ad. I must be using a super special system!

Actually, not really... I merely have the AdBlock plugin for my browser.

P.S. I too use a PC (Personal Computer, Intel architecture)... that runs Linux.
