VirginMedia is apparently trying to make it illegal to block the ads and their info collection... 'cos it will cost them money...

you should have had a bar appear at the top of your browser, you need to click options and then allow.

Just  had a site that i use frequently give me a pop up warning me of PHORM and i had no idea before today!..

  I don't think we're going to have worry about PHORM, for much longer, it's share prices are plummeting.
