I don't understand why people have their volume on by default. Turn it on mute always and then turn if off when you want to watch something - then the boss will never know.Follow Ricky's lead.I guess that AdBlock add-on with Firefox must be doing the job. Haven't seen or heard from "her" since I installed it. Thanks Jim for pointing me in the right direction.You're welcome Ricky - you'll be happy b/c you never have to see an add you don't like. AdBlock is in the "context menu" when you right click on something -- I almost never see an ad when I surf the net!I have my volume on because I stream Pandora at work all day.I use Chrome. Is there an Adblock for it as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about ads as long as they don't have malware.Thanks again for all you do Brad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came into this thread, she appeared again. Went to post this reply about her popping up twice, and guess what, she appeared again. Three times in a day.I know we can switch browsers and add things, but when we are using our work laptops, they frown on adding things at our leisure to company owned equipment.It is getting insane. Lets ask everyone for a donation quickly so we can get rid of the ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jim for pointing me in the right direction.I've been using AB+ for a long time and never seen this "dreaded" ad before on here and im on a lot. It should solve your problem plus it blocks annoying ads on pretty much all sites. If you right click on an image you can even ad that to the filter and block it.
