The ads that have begun to pop up are ridiculous, this "I want this" thing, I cannot find it in my programs to delete it. I understand that you have to have ads to make money, but there the flashing ads that keep popping up, even on websites that I visit are crashing my computer at every click and its getting out of hand. I can't stop these ads, I would NEVER visit the sites or buy anything from them for the very reason that its so annoying. Either tell me what to delete from my programs to stop these horrid ads or I will go to another company for my internet use.
