Nope. Just installed Ad block plus but wierdly enough, I can still see the ones up the top of PC. Anyone know what is wrong?
 
I never click on advertisements. :(

I do like to play those little flash games they have in some advertising banners. :D
 
No. God no.

All these advertisements do is hand out free viruses. I'm a supporter so I don't see many adverts anyway. I've never clicked an advertisement on this forum, another forum or any site for that matter. Sometimes I do want to find out more about it, but I Google it instead of clicking the advertisement.
 
I only ever click on ads if it's a very interesting one and that generally doesn't apply. Besides, I have AdBlock Plus installed so I don't even see ads now online, let alone be able to click them.
 
It depends, really. If it's one of those "HEY, YOU'VE JUST WON ____! CLICK TO RECEIVE YOUR PRIZE!" then of course not. 99% of those are obvious scams, and the remaining 1% is a virus. However, if I see one advertising an interesting, free MMORPG, then I'm tempted to click.
 
Shoot no!
I Donate to PC whenever I can to offset the cost of me blocking all the adverts with my Adblockers

The supporter perks are just a new thing. :D (was a donator wayy back in the day when all you got was a diff color name)

Maybe you haven't activated it properly? Check your browser settings.

I use Adblock plus too. Love that one~ I can think some sites look good and feel nice, when others complain about the adverts XD
 
The Free Pokemon MMORPG and "I'm Richer Than You! Find Out How!" ads
 
I don't see any advertisements.. I see 'em when I'm using IE, but not with FF.

I guess I must have added some type of ad-block plug-in a long time ago :D I don't really remember.
 
NEVER. They usually lead to viruses that enter your PC and eat all your precious files-OR-they could be helpful links of what not...

I use ad blockplus also,that's why ads never pop up,even if there was I would never click on them uh,cause It can lead to viruses like everyone else says..
 
They're very often viruses and/or computer tracker type devices, so no I do not. Just go straight for the little x in the corner and you're golden.

And now they're starting to put ads in the middle of YouTube videos and on some XBox/Wii video games. It's kind of obnoxious.
 
Never. Unless I do it accidentally. D: I don't want to risk it being something harmful to the laptop. >_o
 
No, I couldn't care less about spam. :D
