vds rightster pop up     

winalot - 21 Mar 2014 18:31

Does anyone know how to disable RIGHTSTER pop up video? It is absolutely a nuisance and irritating! I understand that this site gets a small revenue each time we click on the ads, but to drive users round the bend is something else.

OK, did some research into this and found the following solution. For IE, go to 'Tools' - 'Manage add-ons' - click 'Tracking Protection' then in the pane below click 'Get a Tracking Protection list online' In the page that opens I selected the second entry down 'EasyPrivacy' by clicking the 'Add' button next to it. Make sure it it then enabled in the 'Manage Add-ons' entry list.
That will zap the add box completely and peace and quiet will resume.
Hope this helps. I imagine a similar fix can be used for google Chrome. If I get time I'll look into it.

I did a bit of research for 'Google Chrome' users and came up with this:
In Chrome to the right of the address bar click the 'Customize' button then select the 'Settings' option then click on 'Extensions' on the left side. - Click 'Get more extensions' There is an app called 'Adblock Plus' which claims to zap annoying ads. Presumably if you install that it will do a similar job. I don't use Chrome so haven't tried it myself. Hope this helps.

I don't use chrome because i was getting a pop up saying it can't regonise my profile, so i have had no trouble on this site , all i can see is a black box at the side of the page.

Thanks from me too Rocky! The video clips had me pulling my hair out to & the Chrome extension you highlighted works a treat so far.
