I done clean up and spyware scan. Then logged onto this site,
Done another scan and it found 34 adware loaded just from this site.

Anybody got any ideas how I can block the spyware? Popups blocker at maximum, let it run couple days and had 354? Guess that's what you get when you go free sites, Google, or search for product. this site pretty slow coming up frome and I suspect all the spyware running in the back ground?

Log into your computer as a guest and not an administrator. As a guest you cannot install any software and I don't think anyone else or any other site can remotely.

I believe tom recommended advlock plus and it has worked great for me.

What do you use for your adware and spyware scan? I use Malwarebytes and never ran into this problem.

Don't really know, run CCleaner, superAntispyware, and have AVG.

Guess I'll try Adblock?

Topspinmo -

1) The website is free. When you block ads then you are taking away what pays to have the site online. Maybe we should offer a subscription plan for a fee if you don't want to see ads.

2) If you have a technical issue you should contact us as the users on the site cannot address the issues you are having.

3) We are not and have not had any recent reports of these issues. If you can email us about the computer you are running in terms of age/speed we can better assist you.

4) We do daily scans of the host and the website and are 100% clean on the site.

Best Regards,

TOTV Team
