Congratulations you have won

[davidjpowell]

has just been shouted at by my PC. Something to do with a PH add. Is it necessary?

[Magog]

likewise... annoying

[FlatPack]

Same here, very annoying.

In fact, can't you get rid of all those plain grey with flashing text 'You've won a Mini Cooper' and the like scamverts?

[renmure]

Ditto.
Thought all these audio adverts were history??

[CatfishCKY]

I've got Adblock Plus on my Mozilla. Total silence, no annoying adverts - WIN!

[Mr Will]

I'll keep my ears out for it. Can anyone confirm what company the advert was for?

[FlatPack]

Wasn't obviously for any company, the ad is a plain grey box with flashing text (possibly pink / yellow).

There have been a few of them recently (including some that include your IP address and current system time telling you to click if it's still that time right now to win something).

I'll screendump one if it shows up again.

Thank you, it's a big help.

I had some nice chilled out music playing in the background then this bd thing shouted at me.

[DonnyMac]

I just 'won' too!

Nearly had a heart attack

Fantastic, I've passed that on to our ads team who are now are going to get in touch with the company providing it and get it shut down.

Tell them to unexpectedly shout at them at a random point during the conversation while they're at it.
