What is causing this?

Lately when Im on Facebook I get ads cutting in with music & talking.
How do I get rid of this.

You must be using Firefox?
Maybe if you use Google Chrome or Opera

Ive noticed increased advertising on facebook as of late.. SOME of it is animated but I havent noticed music yet..

Try a different browser first... if you get the same thing Id learn to ignore it because it will probably become a regular thing soon..

If its just in ONE browser.. Scan the computer for malware using a free tool via a google search for "malware removal" or use your anti virus if you have one.

If your courser is placed to the right, it will activate the ad section

I was getting ad popups on a entire new page when I was using mozilla firefox. I Uninstalled it. Did not get them on facebook though. Sorry, I don't know what it is...

I Don't know but I got a pop up ad on YA the other day

[Spot *is a dog*]

2 things you can do to get rid of that crap...
Install Adblock Plus http://adblockplus.org/en/
Install NoScript http://noscript.net/

I have both these on my firefox browser and no annoying ads

It is a new computer only about 1 month - 1 1/2 months old and this keeps happening.

Sometimes I'll be doing stuff on the computer, other times it will just be idle and it will happen.

I updated the graphics drivers, no change.

Anyone know the cause and how to fix it?
