Taboola - What is it and how do I get rid of it.

[Don Mega]

Everytime I open a new page on Thai Visa my browser freezes for approx 20 seconds with this in the bottom left corner.

After the approx 20 seconds my download manager pops up with this.

highly annoying and only happening on TV.

Is it a bug or virus ?

anyway to stop it ?

Looks like adware. ADWCleaner might work. Good to run every now and then anyway. Also clear your cookies if you haven't already.

This taboola site is some ad-spammer included by thaivisa.

There is another thread complaining about the amount of ads in TV.

Further discussion would lead to this:

ok thanks mate.

Least I know what it is then.

Time to step back away from the forum I guess as it is unusable the way it is.

Hi

​

​I would be interested to know if the taboola is still causing loading delays on the Thai Visa forum, if this is the case then we can raise it with the supplier.
