8. Protecting your computer from spyware (unwanted advertising and tracking)
If when you visit our website you are seeing multiple pop-up adverts, then it is not likely to be coming from us. All our advertising partners have been given clear and strict instructions not to sell any form of pop up adverts.
If you are seeing popup adverts then they are probably actually coming from a program which you may have picked up from a third-party website, which spawns unwanted adverts whilst you are using the Internet. This type of program is unfortunately common and is known as 'spyware'.
Luckily there are free programs you can use to easily remove this 'spyware'.
Ad-aware is a program from a reputable company called Lavasoft which can help keep your system clean. Ad-aware software is free and is available from their website at www.lavasoft.de
