After reading many of the issues about many of members computer problems, most of you seem to be using Firefox as you browser. I also use Firefox as it leaves IE for dead. There is an add on that you can install for Firefox....It is called 'Ghostery'
It tracks all of the organisations and intruders wishing to interrupt your browsing and lets you know about them. From there, you can select the ads, malware and any other people that you don't want on your computer. Follow the link below to get your free copy of Ghostery.

I have been using it for around 2 years now and I am very pleased with the way it stops unwanted intruders to my computer.

I have been using Ghostery with Firefox for a few years and like it. It keeps tracking cookies out of my system.
The only problem is that Ghostery can disable some features of some web sites that use the trackers that Ghostery blocks. Generally the site works but a feature might not. As I recall, on one site, when I click to check the inventory in the store, it doesn't work until I go into Ghostery to enable that tracker. It isn't hard to do but some sites have more than 5 blocked trackers so it takes a few minutes to find the correct tracker to enable to check the inventory.
I don't run into this as often as I used to, perhaps the site coders are finding better ways to code without using trackers.
Good luck with it,
Jim

Not real computer literate but I use Norton 360 (not free) and it seems to solve any problems
