Hi Chuckfickens, when I am on AB there are adverts running up and down left side of screen
I find it quite off putting.

if you use firefox then install the ad block plus add-in an they will all go away.

If you use IE i've not found a effective way of doing it yet.

Don't use firefox so looks like I'll have to put up with it. But a weird thing happened recently, I had been searching for a particular pair of sandals on lined (sad I know) then went on AB and the same company were advertising on AB, is it any wonder I felt spooked and wanted to get rid?
