Had another one just as I clicked this thread, fixmycredit.com or something to that extent.

Appreciate the efforts in stopping the ads though.

poor me...only 28 gigs at 2 in the afternoon, usually it's around 30-32 GB, and I am just using regular old Comcast residential cable.

BTW, ads have stopped for me. Appreciate the efforts.

Edit: Meant 28 Mb, 30-32 Mb.

Thanks RCA.

As long as you're running Ad Block you shouldn't get any ads with any browser.

EDIT:I am still getting it on Chrome (even after clearing cache and cookies)

Well I'm running adblock, windows defender and mcafee's site blocker, so any of those would work, but I'm not showing any hits from rejected material different from every day.

I block pretty much any picture or ad unless I give it permission and a scan first.

I get notified of anything coming through or being blocked.
