Solved

Hello, for a while now I haven't been able to browse Vinted because intrusive ads are hiding my own items and those I’m searching for; I have to log out and log back in (on PC) but nothing works. Is it a virus issue?
Can someone help me resolve this problem, please?

    Hello,

    We will start with a PC diagnosis:

    Read the entire procedure before posting the reports
    Do not post them directly in the messages as they are unreadable and incomplete

    The following reports are expected: FRST.txt and Addition.txt

    All reports must be hosted on https://security-x.fr/up/ and you should provide the obtained links in your reply

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    --> The SmartScreen filter may trigger an alert. Click on Actions or More Information then click on Run anyway

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    --> Download the FRST version of Farbar, compatible with your system and save the file on your Desktop

    --> For a 32-bit system
    --> For a 64-bit system

    How to determine which version, 32-bit or 64-bit, is running on my system?

    --> Wait for your browser to offer you the download to save, without clicking anywhere, especially not on the sponsors of the page.
    --> Close all applications, including your browser
    --> Double-click on FRST.exe and click Yes to accept the Disclaimer
    --> On Vista, Windows 7 / 8 and 10, the file needs to be launched by right-clicking -> Run as administrator
    --> Wait until it says The tool is ready to use
    --> In the main menu, click on Scan and wait for the scan to complete
    --> At the end of the scan, the reports FRST.txt and Addition.txt are created. Post these reports in your next reply.
    --> The reports are saved in the same location as the tool and under C:\FRST\Logs

    Hello, I'm sorry for wasting your time. I'm no longer very young and I'm terrible with computers. By posting my request, I thought I was addressing the users of the site in question to see if this issue was occurring for others. I would be completely unable to follow your directions, whatever they may be, as I'm at a zero level concerning operations. Nevertheless, I thank you for your involvement and quick response; best regards.

      Good evening again and thank you, I was actually using Edge and after reinstalling Google Chrome, everything seems to be back to normal strangely enough.
      Thanks again and have a good evening.

    Good evening, 
    Hello, for a while now I haven't been able to browse Vinted because annoying ads are hiding my own items and those I search for; I have to log out and log back in (on PC) but it doesn’t help.


    I have a doubt!
    Is this problem present on Windows or on Android?

    good evening, as I mentioned earlier, I am really bad. The problem I was talking about occurred with eDGE, but having reinstalled and used Google Chrome after my request, I see that everything is back to normal. Thank you all and I apologize for the inconvenience.
