Getting Rid of the Ad's
My husband did some upgrades on my very slow computer to speed things up and now I am getting ads on the QB. Someone had posted how to eliminate them a while ago and I followed the directions (or link). I'd sure like to get rid of these things again.
Can someone help me? Or tell me where to go find the info?
THANKS!

I use Chrome, and free AVG and AdAware (make sure AdAware is from Lavasoft or you will install more problems. If you search for Ad Aware bogus programs will show up, and you may install malware on your pc. I think Chrome has a built in pop-up-stopper. That may be what your husband did, when it looks like a legitimate site and there is a big arrow to "download now" it is not the right download. They often have PC Fixer programs attached. You can go to your control panel to remove them.
I mean, he may have been looking for a program to remove ads and clicked "download now" arrow, when you really have to look for the legitimate link. Often it looks like it is legit but it is a whole different program.
