Click to wins getting really annoying!

Options
I started doing click to wins but find they take too long, too many of the prizes are shared across multiple sites and worse still I get annoying pop-up ad for things like 'jellysplash' which i have to keep cancelling.
Then recently I would go to enter an answer and another page would suddenly load, an advert for a game of some sort to download. No way to say no thanks. I emailed Take a Break. They said it wasn't them, must be my computer, but it only happens on Bauer sites. I've decided to give up doing them.

    I do the click to wins and don't get any of the things you describe.

    It does suggest it is a problem on your computer.

    Do you clear your cookies regularly?

    I don't get any pop ups either although I don't do them very often but there are links on the sites that at best look very spammy.

    Thanks for the replies. It must be my computer if I am the only one getting the annoying pop-ups. But why is it only on the Bauer sites?

    Have you got Adblock Plus ? If not try loading that (only takes a minute and is free) and then see if you still have the problem
