    Just recently I am getting ads when I am surfing the net and also on facebook.....

    How can I remove whatever is causing this ....

    I did a search but I guess my mad searching skillz aren't too good....

    I just tried downloading and installing AdBlock Plus and that didn't stop the ads.....

    Have you tried installing AirPush Defender to see if it could ID the problem? Chances are very good it was a free app you installed.

    Interesting. Have you gone to accounts - select your Google accou8nt and said no to targeted ads? If that's unchecked I have my doubts that Google is doing it.
