How do I disable ads on my FaceBook? - Who Knows - 11-09-2012 10:28 AM
Sometimes there are fake dating ads on my Facebook with girls in inappropriate clothes. How do I disable them so they don't appear on my timeline? It happens to my friends, too.

There should be an option on the upper right side of every picture, saying report or label as spam. Try that, and also get rid of friends that might be 'bots'. Clean out your computer's history daily and change your password often so that you don't get hacked. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Download the web browser Google Chrome or Mozzila Firefox
Add the extension Adblock
If it doesn't block the ad, click on the symbol and follow the instructions

They're advertising things to you that you liked or are related what you liked and what you've been checking out or someone else has been checking out on your personal account, they use your personal information * the stuff you provide them with on facebook * to find things that accomodate to your taste. You can unlike some things that may relate to those suggestive ads and you can't get rid of them permanently, they're the reason Facebook is free.

Firstly remove any browser extensions or software that you installed recently, as its most likely one of those that is injecting the ads into your facebook pages. if that doesnt work, next thing to try is an antimalware scanner such as malwarebytes antimalware or superantispyware.
Once you have done that, i recommend you install the fb purity browser extension as it blocks all the "normal" facebook ads and sponsored stories etc and also lets you customise facebook exactly how you like it.
