Could someone please help me. When I am online and click the top left arrow to go back I keep finding an advert on the page behind. This also happens when I click X top right and instead of being taken back to the previous page I either get another advert or my desktop. This is driving me mad so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

It happens with everything and sometimes there are more than two pages of adverts. Thanks
Try downloading a spyware checker like Malwarebytes. Sorry I don't have a link on me.
I think you will find that these are adverts called "Pop-unders"and you will need to find a Pop-under blocker to stop them.
I imagine these were invented to get past the pop-up blockers used these days.
Sorry I can't help with a suitable blocker though!!
