OT: How do you turn off the annoying Ads 

Post#1 » by mprapss » Mon Feb 20, 2012 2:32 pm

Audio ads that start playing and repeating. Very annoying anyone know how to turn them off. Annoying enough that will stop visiting the site.

Pay $50/yr for a pro version of RealGM. Pay by PayPal. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you a link.

Yea, if they continue to have audio ads, I will start using Ad Blockers. It is very annoying, especially browsing at work.

Has anyone else had RealGM download files onto their computer?

It's happened three times to me now - very random. Once was about a month ago on Explorer, and it was a virus our tech said came from an ad on RealGM. The other two times were while I was using Safari for Mac - it automatically downloaded files when I visited the site, but I assume they couldn't run because it was a Mac.

That's pretty disturbing. :x
