Need a good programme to stop pop up ads

[Roscoe]

I am getting a lot of ads that pop up in the bottom right of the screen on a regular basis and would like to know how to stop them. It's becoming annoying.

Thanks for your help.

ads in web browser? what browser? pc or mobile?

I use ublock or adblock ultimate, both are good for web browsers.

You can also use adblock proxies which blocks known ip addresses of advertising networks, which can stop ads in apps.

[Roscoe]

Yes, ads in a web browser - Chrome and it's a PC running 10.

I'll give ublock a try, then,

Thanks for your help, Kame.

Let us know how it goes for you because it really is a good adblocker.

Another vote for uBlock

Ublock.

But in Firefox at least, you can right click and select block element. Select the popup and create.
That removes those annoying things that come up (pay requests and such) on sites you use regularly.

Yeah, the latest Firefox is pretty good at blocking many ads and trackers. Malwarebytes has additional ad/tracker blocking which covers the rest quite nicely.

I find this is a useful addon for stubborn, unwanted things on web pages:

That did not work. They are still coming up, they slide in bottom right corner. They have the website en.softonic.com on each one.

Sounds like you have downloaded software from Softonic and have been caught with their added on unwanted software
