Default Ads not Stopped by pop up block

I keep getting these ads that roll in from the side. I have all pop up blocked but this does stop them. It's driving me batty. Any suggestions?

I believe that if you run malwarebytes free software it should help. The program removes mailicious malware from your computer. It is free but the website malwarebytes.com is a tricky one to maneuver to get the software you need to do this. Possibly someone else can help with the download information.

Read this article: https://windowssecrets.com/top-story...-can-fight-it/ - You can subscribe to this unlimited free newsletter at the upper right hand corner of this link, and there is also an upgrade option you can purchase once you check things out and have an interest in doing so.

If you're using IE, I would suggest switching to FireFox. AdBlock works quite well with the FireFox browser.

Is this the link to the download for the software you're recommending? https://adblockplus.org/en/firefox

Are you talking about the ads on TOTV? Or someplace else?

I don't think you can block the ads on TOTV.

Downloading malwarebytes from their site will give you 30 days free then you will be asked to purchase. Go to ninite.com and download from there, it will be absolutely free. Good luck.

I use AdBlock with Chrome on my desktop and it does block all ads including those on TOTV.

So you are saying that you do not get any ads on the left side of your screen while in TOTV?

Just asking.
