Question
Whenever i open internet explorer a new window opens with adverts in it along with a notice in the bottom right hand corner "ad served by browsing advisor". Ive done a full search on my computer and have installed a spyware/ ad-ware remover yet i still cant get rid of it. any ideas?
Hi Nicola,
What AntiSpyware and AntiVirus do you have installed?
Have you tried going to Add/Remove and looking for a program that you might have dnloaded lately?
Sometimes these ad programs come bundled with another program.
It could also be a Trojan that has Hijacked Google Ads.
Let me know what AntiVirus and AntiSpyware you are using.
