I was having trouble with Internet Explorer 11 running slowly so after trying other things decided on a Reset. This solved the problems but created other ones such as having lots of advertisements appearing. It looked as though ABP would be the answer so installed it. However, nothing much seemed to happen. I reinstalled it, still no change. I have read lots of the comments on here such as "Click on the Icon" - rather difficult as I couldn't find a new icon anywhere... I read about how you can access lots of options so that it will do what you want, but where do you start looking?
Eventually I thought about checking the Add-ons- which by resetting IE had defaulted to being turned off. Listing the add-ons and changing ABP from Disabled to Enabled seems to have done the trick! Certainly the couple of websites I had been looking at are now very clean, with no adverts at all!
Thank you.
