Can anyone say, why Comodo Dragon is showing external advertisement?
While I'm browsing Facebook in my PC, Comodo Dragon (a web browser) is showing external advertisement several times in a single page. A message "ads not by this site" is there below every ad. Can anyone help me out removing these annoying ads?

what you are suffering from is a type of malware known as "adware" that injects adverts into web pages that you visit.

To get rid of it, first try opening the browsers extensions management page, and remove any dodgy extensions that have been installed, that should fix the problem.

If that doenst work, next thing to try is to run a scan with some antimalware software such as Malwarebytes Antimalware or SuperAntiSpyware, if one of those doesnt find and fix the problem, try the other one.

Once you have got rid of the malware, i strongly recommend installing the "FB Purity" extension as it hides the facebook's own built in sponsored ads and sponsored stories in the newsfeed, and gives you lots of other junk cleaning and customisation options on facebook: http://fbpurity.com

Check your anti-virus software. Some of them can block these unwanted ads.
