Why is it every time I search for an item on the internet it shows up here on UHH as an advertisement.
The items also show up on my email pages.

Any one know how do I stop this for happening?
Thanks in advance.

Depends on which browser you are using. I know for Firefox, go download an add-on called AdBlockPlus. Works wonders. I never ever see any of the ads all of you complain of all the time. EVER!!!

Death came calling, but think I kicked & screamed too much(at least subconsciously)...he didn't want me. Alive and...well...not well...but here. Sucks getting old.
