Has anyone else had this pop up ad on their pc? I've been getting it for the past couple of days - usually on NTB. I thought it might have installed itself but it wasn't there when I went to uninstall it. Maybe the registry? These programs are like a home invasion. I think companies like Auslogic should be sued.

Use a proxy server to act as the gatekeeper between your computer and the internet.
I've been hiding my computer behind a proxy server for years, and I've never had any problems with anything undesirable because of that gatekeeper.

But have you seen that pop up Yorick? I get it on NTB when I first log in and then it is replaced by other ads from Microsoft and Alliance Insurance etc. It's just the Tweakbit one that is really annoying and potentially sinister because of the flashing red Yes. And I suspect if you click No you'll get it anyway.
And is Malwarebytes completely safe? I've heard that it really slows down your computer.

Thanks Yorick. I don't use Chrome, just Google. I did have Chrome before and there were some problems.
Anyway, for Internet Explorer you need Adblock Plus so I will give it a go.
Mightv also run Malwarebytes and see what it comes up with.
