Adverts on Hotmail

[Ray. 217]

Whenever I go into my hotmail account and in to my inbox, sent box, delted box etc..., I keep getting some sort of advertisement that covers up part of the right hand of the screen obscuring that part of the inbox, sent box etc.... Can anyone suggest how I can remove the advert as It's starting to really annoy me and i'm sure it wasn't there before.

It sounds like you have a bit of Adware attatched to your PC mate, It isnt too hard to remove if you do it properly, and I will tell you how to do it.

First of all do a Anti-spyware/adware scan of your computer, if you dont have one of the programs may I suggest Spybot: Search and Destroy?

It is powerful, easy and best of all free.

Here is a link to the official download site - http://www.safer-net...load/index.html

Also it wouldnt hurt clearing your cache and doing a quick registry scan which CCleaer does very well, I work as a computer technician and I cant reccomend that free program enough, I will put a link to it also.

I hope that helped mate.

If any of you guys need some help with PC's hardware or software, feel free to ask me.

Cheers mate, I'll spend some time and look into this and let you know how I get on. TBH I've never been that great with computers and I always feel when something like this happens, that i've pressed a button to trigger it off or ventured into a website that my computer doesn't like.

Not a problem... Yeah... Computers are horrid at times, especially with the Internet these days, make one wrong move and you have a computer full of crap, just play it safe and you will be fine.

Also there is a nifty little program by McAfee which tells you if the site is safe or not.. It will appear as a green bar if safe, yellow if unsure and red if the site isnt trusted by them.

It's not a must, but it certainly does help when your unsure about a websites security.

Spybot and CCleaner very good programs, good them myself, MalwareBytes is another good one.. as is Ad-Aware by Lavasoft
