Are Google Using New Sneaky Advert Pop-Ups?
Electerrific replied to Electerrific's topic in Computer & Tech Chat
It's not a white space being clicked on, nor malware that can be found by updated Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, etc. I have run those many times. I can search as usual (Google.com with secure padlock) several times on one page at once, but then the odd click (trying to right-click a new tab open) does this??? A new tab with a search-related ad in the new tab? -
Are Google Using New Sneaky Advert Pop-Ups?
Electerrific replied to Electerrific's topic in Computer & Tech Chat
Hi I'm using Chrome and click to open a new tab, then use the URL bar to search? Plus I regularly run Malwarebytes (updated) -
I open Google for a search as usual and, once the results are loaded, I try to click on one I want. Except that the cursor doesn't click on the link despite hovering over it. So I click in an empty space to the side and a new advert tab opens (??)- relating to my topic, yes, but NOT what I searched for exactly. This can happen several times during one search/read session. This has been happening for about 2/3wks now. Surely the page should load search results (as before) and the cursor click immediately upon your desired link/s when YOU want? Are Google being sneaky and installing creepy topic-related pop-ups?

Searching For A Certain Viz Comic Character
Electerrific replied to Electerrific's topic in Entertainment Chat
Thanks anyway, Nikki! -
I don't know if anyone remembers a character from at least 15-20yrs ago called Thermos O'Flask (dressed like a flask and always paid for prostitutes)? I have searched for a while and even emailed Viz themselves, who replied, but stating that he was only in issues dating from 2016?? I remember laughing about this character long before then, so must be about 2002-3?

Hi, I have a Samsung S5 (still) and have wanted to arrange all of my folders by putting some similar ones into a parent folder, as sub folders (ie. York and Florida holiday folders within 'Holidays' parent folder)? Saves space on the screen. This can be done easily on Windows desktop/laptops, but android seems to be another matter? I tried a few on Google Play but they're buggy with ads or crash?

Apparently written by Sacha Baron Cohen. Which series and episode featured Anne (eh, eh, ehhhh) doing a rude drawing in a garden?

Old teachers at Rolo [Rowlinson] school
Electerrific replied to Electerrific's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Sorry to revive this old thread. But I live in the south now and, I could swear that I saw that typing teacher (Mrs Croft?/Garman?) with the shortish dark hair and large posterior? Possibly not as even back in the early 80's she would have been middle-aged? -
In an episode of the Napoleonic drama series Sharpe, starring Sean Bean, was there a cameo by Trainspotting actor, Ewen Bremner? Is it him?

Brands Of 'cheap' External Hard Drives?
Electerrific replied to Electerrific's topic in Computer & Tech Chat
Ok thanks, glad I checked! -
I was wanting to back up my reliable 2tb External Hard drive (not to use, purely as saved back ups) and was wondering if the more cost effective brands were reliable? On Amazon for about £30 are brands like Hilabee, Gazechimp, Perfk and Shiwaki? Are these likely to deteriorate due to their cost, or are they surprisingly good?

Very Slow Sky Broadband For The Last Few Days?
Electerrific replied to Electerrific's topic in Computer & Tech Chat
I phoned sky and they confirmed that there aren't any issues in the area? Still very slow internet? Think I'll get the landlady to change her router. -
