[RESOLVED] banner ads

[fred scuttle]

My new laptop came with Kaspersky 30 day free trial which included a banner ad blocker which i found speeded up my web surfing.Does anyone know if there are any free banner ad blocking prog's available or do they only come with certain internet security suites.
Also last couple of days i've been getting runtime error's on shutdown,is there anything i can do about this . This laptop is only a month old and weird
thing's are happening,on the last day of the Kaspersky trial a dodgy program
came up saying that i had a huge number of trojans,viruses etc, and to
download it to fix them.But i just pressed cancel a few times and restart
and it never came back,it kind of put me off Kaspersky so i'm now trying
ESET Trial but it doesn't have "banner ad blocker".
Should i start doing the intensive care scan's or am i just being paranoid.

You should do the Intensive Care scans even just as a precaution. And you don't say what browser you're using but FireFox has a ad blocker which takes care of all adds while you're surfing. In IE, there are a few you can buy that will take care of them also. Ad Muncher is one of the best, but it's not free. Another is Simple -adblock, which is good too but also not free. I used the Simple-adblock for a time, and it worked fine for me. This one works with IE, only.

I find firefox with adblock plus works really well.
