Flashing Important Message: This 'thing' is extremely frustrating, if you try and get out of it on a normal x out, get pushed to another page, and sometimes another. OK it may help pay the bills, but should have an easier way to get out of it, please. I don't want to win prizes Thanks / Diolch.

Hi clive - I have monitored my AB page for the last hour and have noted five flashing pages. Ie Your PC is about to crash. Click OK to fix for free. Great News There's (1) iPhone waiting to be won - advertiser Apple We recommend that you run Windows Error Scan - advertiser eFIX plus others Maybe we are the old two who are getting this nuisance ads on AB.

ferlew ... What settings do you have for Ad Chices or to stop them. This comes via Windows 7, and it seems that it blocks them. The other one I get every hour!! is the flashing ones statring off "How fast are You"" asking you to click on two images the same. ps. My headaches are getting worse - seriously.
Never seen it clive but if its a box in the right margin above your list of subscribe threads it's an advert.
Is there any reason it is targeted at you?
I'm sure it's coincidence but when I search certain sites the ads seem related to me. Surely ab is not leaky and I am paranoid:). I have high security.
I sometimes get that box at the top saying I've won a prize and starts counting down to my "claim time". I log off in case it autoconnects or is a cover for gathering info on me. Sure I could probably ignore it but bettter safe thean sorry.
ANYTHING MARKED "IMPORTANT" IS USUALLY A SCAM OR UNWANTED "COME-ON".
Don't press the bloody thing!
If it won't go away log off and wait awhile. I it autoconnects do the annoying thing and switch off the power. Then on boot-up just hit return for return to Windows.
