how to get rid of ads by adchoice on facebook? and sea app? - Jillian G - 11-09-2012 11:52 AM
A few days ago I was trying to find a site where I could watch old episodes, so I found a cite and checked it to make sure it was safe, and it was so i downloaded it. Through the downloading process it started to directing me to different sites (i looked them up after and they were not safe) so now on facebook I have ads everywhere that says ads not by facebook next to them. They are from adchoice. Also when I type in something on internet explorer sea app pops up on the side?
Anyone know of a way to get rid of these? I'm trying Malwarebytes right now and it doesnt seem to be working...
Thanks!
(I think the bad website was called sidereel, but i got brought everywhere when downloading)
