    Who the hell is Teknotherm and why/how am I over run with their damm ads?
    Every video and web site, there is their ad.
    Like TV commercials, I'll NEVER do business with a company who's commercials piss me off.

    I hope somebody from their company reads this, soon.

    You're overrun with them because you made the mistake of clicking one time or googling a subject. Now they're tailoring the ads to you.

    I've dumped cookies and cache again.
    I really hate ads.

    I always wonder, if Sirius radio works (no ads), then why can't cable or sat work (paid for abuse).
    I'll even pay more to an ISP for no commercials.

    You probably googled something related to refrigeration or that company name...

    I really don't care about web ad, I just skip over

    Now there are a number of company I will never deal with based on their TV ads Starting with

    Liberty mutual : they seem to have the most stupid retarded idiotic brain dead customers (yeah I know l they re actors). Makes Flo or the **** gecko appealing

    Charmin TP: so good your can wear your underwear twice? You got to be kidding me. Disgusting. No more charmin on my boat

    I'm with you on the ads. Your ads are the ones I hate most, great examples.

    I can never understand how they work, by brain washing people???

    I think were together on this, stupid ads, were not customers.

    Web ads take up memory and speed also. Double ticks me off.

    Gentlemen, On each ad' there is a "unsubscribe" option (by law there must be) press it once and you'll never see them again! There are very few acceptions, like Facebook, but with little effort you can get reed of them too

    They will be eternally grateful to you for creating a thread titled with the company name on one of the most popular boating sites.

    That would be for an e-mail ad. I was talking about rude pop-ups.

    Running latest FireFox browser with Pop-Up blocker enabled.

    My last attempt to clear things on my box was to clear and delete all exceptions.
    Seems there is more to these new web thingies now than just cookies.
    There was only a couple that I did not recognize in a few categories.

    So far, seems to be the cure.

    On this box, I do not cruse dirty web sites (or so I thought). There is a blocker and guides for risky web addresses in the browser.
    The movies I watch on another box. Both also have a big name ant-virus program.

    Computers and the web will drive me nuts.
