Extremely annoying pop-ups and other issues on PPRuNe

Pop ups offering T shirts and other crap fills the bottom 1/4 of the screen. I've tried to stop it with Addblock Plus but to no avail. Also, numerous words in folk's posts are underlined and red. Hovering over these produces ads from various vendors, some of them big names. For instance, above, I see the words Troubleshooting and computers in the section title is so affected. ( My settings for the purpose of demonstration.)

I'm using W7 64 on an i7 Sony laptop but until I get Barclay's free antivirus installed am only on Security Essentials.


EDIT to say, Sony laptop slowly changed to red DOUBLE underline as did a couple of other words in the last line.
