| Hi,
How do I get rid of extras that have been appearing on my FB page? I have things from Coors Light, Barack Obama, Sears, and a few more things. I don't ever remember clicking on to any of these ads. They take up a lot of my space!!! Anyone else have the same problem??? Thank You |

| Facebook is not free but some may think so. It is paid advertising similar to that you may see once in a while on TV. FB is down to about $21 ($38 at the beginning) on the market and FB is trying to get some revenue. Zuckerberg's fortune is in jeopardy. |

| I don't have any ads. Firefox with Adblock Plus installed. |

| Move your mouse out to the right of the ads in your Wall or whatever its called .. and magically an x or drop down box appears. There you can hide them or mark them to go away forever. |

| Even when I disable ad-blocking I only occasionally get a couple small ads in the right column. If you're seeing more than that, have you installed any ad-ons to style/enhance Facebook? Some of those add their own ads. If I found nothing there, I'd look in "Add/Remove Programs" for anything suspicious. And of course, run my scans. I'm no expert though, just relating what I'd probably do. BTW, a screenshot might help someone to recognize whether you're experiencing typical Facebook ads or something more obnoxious/intrusive. |
