Urgent Message

Soon after I joined UHH I always see an "urgent message" When you scroll down it is for an e mail and some virus protection. I DO NOT want any of that. Will I see the urgent forever? :roll:

Install ad blocker and that might go away.

You need to find ad blocking software for your computer and browser.

What you see is not coming from UHH. It is coming from Google or it's competitors. They have become clever enough to keep track of what you've been shopping for or reading about and then sending you ads.

It is a current reality of the internet.

I've never seen that message on UHH. I'd also suggest AdBlock.

I've heard it a million times, finally learned to listen:
DO NOT CLICK ON ANY ADS OR MESSAGES THAT POP UP!
It will download bad viruses.

Great advice. Just opens the door to a black hole of ads.
