Phew, you got that one too?? I just got a new computer and knew it was not from anyplace I clicked on since my machine is super clean right now. I wasn’t really in the market for a Russian Senior bride either and really would not like to try and explain why it was there. There was a little X though to click on that seemed to make it go away.

Well, “X” marks the spot or a red dot well placed.

I wouldn’t mind a Russian gal, but competing on whose mustache is bigger is a little troubling to me.

Hi - this came up back in November when another user complained about it. If at all possible, could you take a screenshot and send it to us? We can ask the ad services company to stop running the ads. Or, perhaps, if you can give me the name I will try to make that work.

Well, there could be worse ads that pop up.

Whatever, but they are a little embarrassing having them pop up on your screen. I’m afraid I’m not adept enough to do a screen shot. Maybe Wes knows how. So far its just Russians and Filipinos though.

I think that you guys need to install **_Ad Blocker_** or some other free program that allows you to surf the web w/o any of those ads. I see none of the annoying stuff to which you refer, and I have to assume that it is because of one of the features that I have installed on my laptop.

+2 for adblock. I don’t see any of these things. As an update, I’ve been told the request has been made to omit those advertisers. If you see any other such ads for the brides, let me know.

Most computers track YOUR search history and target your screen with ads relative to you.  
I see none of those you speak of…would you like to see the shoes I’ve been shopping recently ?

AND…my wife’s nursing scrubs just popped up along with New Pig absorbents.  
So,apparently, it’s tied to my email account search history.

YOUR ads will therefore be tied to yours …careful what you click on.

Wow, I thought I was clueless with a computer but even I put adblocker on mine. Just google it, pick one of the versions and follow the directions.
