I have kids. And kids need some help on the internet to avoid traps and sneaky ads. But I’ve found that adults need help too, and as a result, I recommend that everybody install AD BLOCK PLUS on their computers.
It removes all the advertising (except for advertisng that Ad BlockPlus has already deemed to be safe and non-deceptive) from all web sites. Ad Block Plus is created by a non-profit company devoted to making the internet safer for everyone.
You can find the program here: https://adblockplus.org/
You may need to visit this site from each of your web browsers and install them separately. So first install it on Internet Explorer, then Chrome, and then your other browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Yandex, Safari, Firefox, Android, Opera are supported as of Feb, 2015)
Enjoy!
