Want Related Items pop up at left side of screen removed.
Hi, I have a problem.......every time I go on to a page or thread (on any forum) I get a pop up at the left side of the screen that says "related searches" and contains about 4 or 5 items probably related to the thread I'm viewing but do not want to have as it blocks out at least 1/5 of the screen.
It can be removed by clicking on a very small cross in a square box, but as the pop up occurs every time I turn a page over, not only on this forum but on all other forums I log on to, it gets extremely frustrating to have to keep doing it just to see the full page.
I have the pop up blocker set at full block, and keep also getting a reminder at the bottom of the screen that some item has been blocked etc.
This has only just happened in the last week........it has actually only started to happen since I logged onto Facebook and Skype after a long absence, but I don't know if that is significant.
Is there a setting somewhere that I have inadvertently OK'd that allows the pop up to be present or is this something new to Win 7?
How do I get rid of the function?
Ian.
