>>BTW, does anyone know how to get rid of ads in Skype? Is it because Skype is now part of MS or did I get malware (I ran Malware Bytes now quite regularly),
>>I don't use Skype often but when I do, I don't need to see Milwaukee Singles.
LOL. Apparently you can add apps.skype.com to your restricted sites to block the ads- but also the Skype home screen.
FWIW, the biggest intrusion I see at the moment is the Windows 10 nag icon/popup. I remove the culprit Windows updates and make the recommended registry settings and the nag goes away... only to return a day or ten later.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
