Invisible sound ads on Google Chrome!? - madison - 11-09-2012 09:31 AM
When I got on certain sites (Facebook, pandora mostly) these invisible sound ads will come one. One of them is just music for a few seconds, one is something about David Beckham, one about dove air freshener and one about some type of truck. They are SOOOO annoying, they play and then the play over and over again. They just don't go away! How do I turn them off?

Do you have popup blocker turned on or off?
Other than that I'm not much help becuz I'm not computer tech.
My job is porta-potty maintainer and my job stinks !

You have whats known as adware on your computer, its a type of malware that injects adverts into web pages that you view. The form this malware takes is usually browser addons / extensions or toolbars. You should remove any such software you have installed and if that doesnt get rid of the problem, run antimalware scanners such as MalwareBytes Antimalware and SuperAntiSpyware.
Once you have eliminated the adware from your system, i recommend adding the safe and highly rated FB Purity browser extension for blocking out the normal facebook ads (sponsored box and sponsored stories / application and game spam etc: You can get it here: http://fbpurity.com
