How to get rid of ads
« on: April 11, 2014, 07:44:27 pm »

Hey guys, how can I possibly get rid of the ads ??(refer to photo attachment). I searched up everything on how I could get rid of them on the net to the best of my knowledge but still no luck. They make my computer so slow so its really frustrating having my computer consistently spammed with numerous ads every time I go on the net. What do I need to do to to fix this issue? Can someone please help me out here please. I would appreciate it greatly :)

You should be able to install an add-on such as AdBlock Plus

Looks as though your computer has some sort of adware infection, as those ads aren't part of the normal YouTube layout.

I suggest you give your computer a thorough malware scan.

The ads aren't apart of youtube, they are rather general ones

If you have access to another computer, download Windows Defender Offline and install it onto a USB drive.

Never seen that before.

Although I don't recommend using ad blocker. As I was once a YouTuber trying to make some money, it is more than frustrating when people watch your videos yet block the ads so you don't get Adsense payment. I hate those fuckers who do that shit. When you get rid of ad blocker (for YouTube), you are taking away from someone else.

Can you screencap your extensions/add-ons? (ctrl+shift+a in firefox)

I used to be partnered with youtube (like 2010ish, in year 9 haha) and it's genuinely the silliest thing ever. Nobody should be getting paid money to make youtube videos.

Haha so was I or Machinima Respawn partner + director .. when I was into gaming =D :P You should get paid for it. You are garnering an audience to watch your videos, and others promote their product through the use of ads. I don't see any difference between that and TV, asides from possibly the quality of the video. But if it gains attention they are doing something right.

what doesn't work? you mean it's coming up clean?

in that case, go to your add and remove program list and uninstall every suspicious looking freeware/program and only keep what is legitimate (made by a big company that much should be obvious). if the problem still persists, go into your task manager, then into processes and google every single process and you would definitely find your problem and work from there.

It's really not that hard to quantify..., but I believe that being raped once is not as bad as being raped five times, even if the one rape was by a gang of people.
