Is anyone else having trouble with the amout of pop ups appearing while using this site? We have put the popup controls on our computer but it isn't stopping them and the content of them has been very explicit lately especially as we have our children sharing the computer. Has anyone any advice? Thanks

Google 'free pop-up blocker' and download one for your PC. That will put a stop to them.

Have you tried changing the address on the home page? use the (.)com at the end of the address instead of the (.)co(.)uk in the address bar. Roy

You sound like you might have some adware or spyware on your PC. Do you have adaware installed? That is a good free application which will clean your PC of any garbage that may have snuck on. Spybot Search and Destroy is also good. You can get Spybot here - it's free: http://www(.)safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html You can get adaware here but download the free version with is adaware personal: http://www(.)lavasoftusa(.)com/software/adaware/ Remove the brackets

Can't say I've ever had Pop-Ups appear on here, good luck with sorting them out.
