Why would one use adblocker software?

Much like its predecessor medium, television, the fuel that drives and supports the web is advertising revenue. In television this was relatively straightforward. All ads were video clips. On the web it's a little more complicated. This is because site often use multiple forms of advertising: banners, popups, e-mail (commonly called spam), short video clips, video presentations, affiliate marketing, etc. Adblocker software is specifically designed to look for patterns in code that signal the placement of an ad and prevent that code from being executed, theoretically (and often very effectively) allowing the viewer to focus solely on the desired content.

Why are your articles so loaded with ads I never get past page 2 without computer freezing up?

Sadly - internet advertising is a fact of life ! Almost every site you visit will be running at least one advert somewhere on the screen. You can always install something like 'Adblocker' to remove most (if not all) adverts from your screen. Either search for it - or contact me via my message board, and I'll send you a link to the site.

How do you stop those annoying videos running?

Practically all browsers offer extensions: left-click on the browser's icon and go to 'extensions'. There you can choose from several tools that will block unwanted pop-ups and ads. Click on the ones you like and the browser will from then on surpress pop-up an other advertisements. Keep in mind that very occasionaly you may afterwards encounter a site that will not run, saying 'you cannot view this because you have an adblocker running'. A small price to pay, and you can temporarily disable the extensions if you are really desperate to view that site. Should you want to block advertising in games: there are options for that too. Answers.com unfortunately blocks url's in answers, so I can't give you specific sites for that, but google 'blocking in-game advertisements' and you will get a lot of options and advice.


How do you keep your online profile safe from hackers?

Off the top of my head of some easy to do, practical steps you can take; Changing your passwords regularly. every 6 months to a year maximum. Having a unique password for every website, especially sensitive ones like banks. Install adblocker (ublock origin seems to be the favoured one) on chrome and firefox. Use a credit card instead of a debit card. take advantage of two factor authentication if the websites offer it. Have antivirus software and run scans reguarly. Use malwarebytes antimalware and adwcleaner to scan for adware and spyware. Make sure your Windows or Mac is updated. Don't use unsecure WiFi hotspots (airports,cafes etc), and if you must, use a VPN.
