Pop Up Ads
 
Is anyone else overwhelmed by POP UP ADS when looking at TOV. Only happens when in TOV !!! How did you get rid of it? HELP!

I have never had a pop-up ad from this site. There are a couple of things you may try:

1. Clear your cookies in internet options.
2. Install a pop-up blocker

By doing these two actions you should see a huge reduction in the ads.

Good luck.

Your browser should have a popup blocker function someplace in its security section. Try turning it on. If that doesn't help, I suggest you run a malware program. Since I've never had a popup on TOTV, I'm thinking you may have a malware problem. I use Malwarebytes, which you should be able to download for free.

Your computer may have a virus infection, called adware. I suggest that you download and run an anti-virus program such as malwarebytes. If you have any questions feel free to contact us and we can get you set up.

Malwarebytes : Thank you for download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

1. Go to the tools icon.
2. Select manage add-on.
3. Disable what you don't recognize as somthing, that doen't help your computer to run.

This worked for me and all the pesky icon pop-ups went away. There was a site causing the pop-ups and after disabling it, my PC worked fine. If you are not sure of a slection, you can disable it and if it doesn't work right, re-enable it.

I hope this helps.
