It only appears on Gransnet and I think it's advertising some kind of anti virus.
I try to delete it but it pops back and after a couple of times my half written post has vanished.
Mega annoying.
Can you help HQ?

I too hoped it might have been sorted but it appeared again a short time ago.

I have had the antivirus ad pop up four times just now. I take it that GNHQ are still trying to get rid of it.

Just before both of them a brief ‘pop up blocked (1)’ message.

Only on gransnet and often the instant you press gransnet

It takes over even if you're not logged in.

It’s tedious . Google suggests clearing cache - long instructions and I’m gardening instead. My worry is inadvertently pressing a button when closing it down, that means I’m on a subscription

Not here at all. Is it because it's a Mac in my case with anti virus stuff? May just be chance.

Atm it's changing between a my brand car advert and male shirts with an octupus on. Oh, now it's a don't slip in the shower one: well, thats standard oldie stuff so OK.

It's that firm beginning with a T 4 letter word endless cheap and dodgy stuff that keeps coming on that drives me spare.

Unfortunately I had clicked on the T one to look see once or twice so will stop that.
