 Ads are only the beginning.

I was over a friends out one day. Her grandkids and company was over even a City Official was over. He was standing in the doorway. He was talking to my friend. The computer had to be there. All of these porn pop-ups were coming out. It wasn't my machine but it was embarrassing. She started Yelling at me, "Oh can you fix it." Sure, first your kids have to change their browsing habits. Took me 3 hrs to fix everything up. Next week it's all @$%^ again! Next time I told her "Nope" you'll have to pay me. Sorry, I don't have the time to clean up after her kids every single week.

Once you click on the ad that is only the start. Then thats when malware, adware comes. I know some here have seen "Win-Anti-spyware" Click on the ad and your dead. Getting this adware out takes some doing.

People in general just click on anything and go to sites that contains all of this garbage. Later they are complaining. Surfing/browsing habits are the key. Using adblockers help.

Had a friend whose kids put all kinds of crap on his computer. I told him I would have to reload it BUT that his kids needed to be severely restricted. He told me this wasn't fair to his kids.

After the reload. his kids got the severely restricted accounts because his system never went so fast before.
