How come there's been such a rise in advertisments? |

I recommend everyone heads to their nearest disaster shelter and prepare for the worst. It won't be long until they develop independent sentient thought and attack those who have repressed them.
What ever humans that survive the forthcoming apocalypse will have to band together and form a guerrilla resistance force to win back the planet.
Repent, then end is nigh!

EDIT: No you're not. The problem with links showing up in words continues but I think it's my computer. I'll check it

I once had it as well but on almost all sites.
I use Chrome and never had it before with other browsers.
When I googled it I found this solution:
- Install SpyBot - Search & Destroy (It`s an anti-spyware tool)
- Make a full system scan
- Delete the spyware
The advertisment in words is some kind of spyware. Some said you need to reinstall windows but for me it was working to only delete the found spyware. |

I have had it to (and helped several others incl. Aquarius get rid of his) and it is probable a browser-app that installs without getting permission.
Go to your app-setting and see if there is an app that youd dont know, uninstall it and restart the browser. That usually does the trick

Just to be perfectly clear: There's no text link ads on PCM.daily. Neither do we have pornographic ads. Both can happen if you install certain programs/add-ons to your PC/browser. |
