All I can see are dog and cat fora in the right hand margin.
Oh! Is the Russian women advert 'Dogsey.com' by any chance?

Of course I never click on them, but obviously they can "read" me anyway, because now the "Russian" dating ads have changed to "Australian" dating ads, and I'm getting ads for anti-virus software.
Why they're showing me ads for bloody "hair extensions" I'll never know!!
I hate that intrusive pushy marketing garbage.

Don't be like that, JBR. Some Russian girls are very pretty. 
(In fact, many are downright gorgeous)...

First thing imo is to just disable JavaScript in the Internet Explorer options (assuming you are using IE). This will immediately eradicate most ads and pop ups and will make all the web pages you visit run incredibly faster.
Then you should block various websites in your internet settings (Security tab, Restricted Tab) and ideally block certain IP Addresses in your firewall.

But I'll have to do it.After all, what you lose on the swings...
