    Had been hoping this was a mis-placed forum request. +1 anyway.

    That is said alot but is not true as I get the same ads popping up on my work laptop (where I can assure you I never searched for sites like these). I think they are just random ads. I got a few for Arab/Muslim dating sites and Asian ladies, so much so that I needed to deactivate the ads on boards.

    Have you logged into a google account on both computers per chance?

    I haven't searched for Arab/Muslim dating on my home computer either. Wife wouldn't be too impressed. And the dodgey ads don't appear on my home computer strangely enough, just my work one.

    I've gotten ads for Arab and Asian ladies, plus Senior Dating. I am neither senior nor interested in women of any race. My OH got ads for "Sexy Rugby Girls" or something over the weekend, with a picture of the most masculine woman I've ever seen.

    I got bombarded with ads for "Christian singles" when I was in Colorado over Christmas. If nothing else, it reassures me that Google doesn't know nearly as much about me as I might have thought it did... :pac:

    Never got an add for the sexy Asian ladies but was getting of all sorts of other rubbish that I never requested.

    No expert on these matters but I have installed SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free versions of both) and there is a big improvement.

    Running an ad-block with your browser is probably the easiest way of avoiding seeing any weird ads.

    Course the lads who run the site mightn't agree with this advise ;)

    All I get is dating site adverts when I'm in work. Some of the pictures can be risque.

    EDIT: not the worst one but for example see attached. It makes it difficult to sneakily use Boards when those kind of pics keep popping up.

    Wish I'd taken a screen of her leggy friend that popped up a moment ago.

    There really should be a sticky in Feedback with the steps on what/how to get the info Nicola needs, similar to the Spammer Feedback thread.

    Oh I agree, and if somebody gets to it before we do then it can be made sticky :)
