LOL I think it is just google stalking you like it does everyone who uses it.

That could be right as most things I am looking for I go to Google

delete your cookies every now and again. Some sites sell space to Google to syndicate advertising and if you've already got a Google cookie on your PC it will direct the advertising. This won't stop you getting adverts - they'll just become random or based on the site you're currently on. You should also make sure your "privacy setting" for cookies is at least Medium High.

There is a much more complicated method for stopping the adverts altogether which involves using the "porn filter" built into browsers. If you can find the site address of a server where adverts are kept, put it into your list of banned sites. I've managed to block about 80% of adverts via sites I go on, especially ebay!

I agree Shrimper. I keep getting adverts for things I've been watching on Ebay!!

I thought it was just a coincidence !!

oh definetely, I get the same thing It's normally travel companies I've just booked with, you don't need to advertise yourselves, I've already used you

Definitely! Feels a bit 1984. Steve8482 is right though - it's all down to cookies. You could also try running a full anti-virus scan. The last time mine did a full check it found and deleted over 16,000 tracking cookies! This won't stop them reappearing but it should get rid of the ones that are currently stalking you!

To get rid of cookies, in MS Explorer click Tools and then Delete Browsing History, in Firefox it's Tools and Clear Recent History - always worth doing after Google or Ebay visits but many commercial sites are doing it.

Steve 8482, many thanks I have emptied my cookies and set them to medium high as yet it does seem alot better. Thanks to all others. I do think I might be starting to feel lonely without my stalker

I recently had to do a mammoth search for a pair of North Face Nuptse boots. I eventually found a pair in my size (5) then lo and behold they kept popping up on here. I didn't bother tracking the results as I knew it would probably be fruitless but they just may have had a pair.

BTW girls they are great! Goose Down, anti slip thick soles. First day I wore them I got pulled up outside TK Max by a women who wanted to know where I'd bought them

Oops big pic

actually Glynis they are very nice . Might go and find them myself.

I presently have a nice collection of G star mens jackets parading themselves across the top of my page .

A couple of days ago I was looking at a nice Radley across body handbag that I thought would be just the job for my Paris trip in a couple of days . Unfortunately even in the sale my £20 house of fraser gift voucher was still a long way short . But will it go away . Not on your life . It keeps appearing and I think it's trying to tell me something . Shall I put the extra 50 quid towards it girls.

Go for it!!! I got a lovely Radley across body bag a few weeks ago. Patent with a lovely flower dangling off it. Definately worth every penny (of hubby's money ) Sneaked another one off Ebay last week, BNWT, not leather but very nice. Used it yesterday and he never even noticed

Oh lordy . We dont need much encouragement do we . Might order it if it's still there sunaddict. Wont arrive in time for Paris now though

See the adverts are doing their job

When you see an advert for something you've already look at in the past...look in the bottom right hand corner and there is an information button (i) Click it and it will give you information on removing those adverts.

HTH
