Annoyingly, when on certain websites, Halfrauds advertising pops up. grr
It even appears with items that I have looked at previously.

I know it's embarrasing to have to admit to visiting their site, but is there a way I can stop this annoying feature?

Many thanks

And no, I don't want another clay bar kit, I bought one last week grr

You meet to get a adware sweeper or cleaner, you should report this to the company and demand someone sort this out or your going to have to get a independant I.T engineer to come and sort this out ant that you will take it to the small claims court

If you look in the bottom right hand corner of the halfrauds sign on the advert there should be an 'i' (like and info symbol) hover your mouse pointer over this and it will give you 2 options.

I think the 1st one being to cancel the adds from popping up.

I dont think reporting it to halfords would make a difference it would be the company serving the ads... however there is probably a long long chain of referal companies and to be honest you will never get to the bottom of it.

It seems you have some sort of tracking cookie or ad ware thats monitoring what your looking at... ie if your on the forum a lot and various car websites most of the adverts you will get will be car related... in this instance halfords.

Get your pc cleaned up... try something like

http://www.malwarebytes.org/ - there is a free version and it works a treat
