for some reason (latest update??) I have started to get FB pop ups appearing on my pc.  So, for instance, I'm looking at MSE and suddenly there's a pop up in the corner of the screen to show that a message has been received from someone or someone has posted on a post I have looked at.  Now I don't want or need this but can't find a way to get rid.  I'm assuming it's something in the FB notifications but can't see what.  Any clues???

    thankyouthankyouthankyou!

    No idea why this started up recently.  Suspect something on either FB or the pc had updated itself.  Hopefully I'll remember just in case it starts again!!

    Instead of trying to remember it, write it down on Notepad, Label it Facebook Ads and store it in documents folder on your PC.  :)
