Hi,
I have been suffering from this problem for 2/3 weeks.
I have Norton Firewall & Internet Security but still
unable to block these ads. (I contacted their online
support who have offered a couple of suggestions - which
haven't worked - but ultimately say that it's a Microsoft
problem)
HELP!
Are their any LEGITIMATE websites where i can download
software?
