can/t get rid of adds in lower right side of screen
constantly adds keep popping up in the lower right hand corner on my PC. I can't delete until the time on the adds runs out. Once I delete another different add in a minute or so will appear. Again I can't delete until it times out

Try blocking pop up windows. You can do this in Menu>Preferences>Content and then check the box that says "block pop up windows".
Have a great day!!

Jon, thanks for your input. Where do I find Menu. I have a Menu Bar and what I have done in go to Tools > Options > Content > and I have had the "Block pop up windows" checked of years. But the pop up still comes up
