Solve : Security?

Answer»

Hello everyone. You know when you are on a web page there are those ad's off to the side? Well this ad said "2 PEOPLE have unfriended you on Facebook" That was correct..(can't imagine why..right) Anyway it happened again,except this time it said "2 people are spying on you" Kaspersky scan was o.k...Windows defender scan clean.Has anybody seen this? Could my a/v be missing something?Doesn't sound right.
Here is a search I did on the CH forum
pop up blocker...
If that does not HELP, you may want to post again on the Virus Forum here.
Post a screenshot of the spy message...Your web browsing is being tracked. Google does it, Yahoo does it, Facebook does it; they all do it.
You have see how the ads seem to be directed at you? That's how the websites make their money.
Look for anti-tracking software.I recomend using add blocker plus; the plugin for ire Fox and chrome it blocks all those annoying add and it also blocks add on youtube ^_^, i also have no script running on firefox so it wont run flash or JAVA aplication unless i unblock the script, and i have not had annoying adds at the side of my web pages These ads are nothing to WORRY about. While it's true that they do use quite fancy statistics to show seemingly relevant ads, they are really just nonsense trying to get you to sign up for something or download a dodgy piece of software. It's just like the ones that say "We have checked your PC and it can be optimised, Download Registry Cleaner Pro". The fact that the people unfriended you at the same time is purely a coincidence, there is no way that the ad can actually get this info.

You may want to look into ad blocking software to remove these ads.

Personally, I don't have a problem with websites tracking me to provide a more personal experience, I like the way my search results are relevant to my interests. Then again, I work in Analytics so I would be a bit BIASED.
