Woody, Thanks for the explanation. I had seen the same picture on facebook but never touched it. I know what you are saying about shopping for an item on the internet. I had the same experience. I almost hate to mention this for fear the page will return but nomorerack is no longer on my computer. I did a complete scan from Norton yesterday and it was still on my computer last night but today it is gone. I use CCleaner also but do not know how to separate which cookies I want to keep and those I want to delete so I just run it to delete all cookies and have never had a problem with doing that. I also run Internet Options to scan my computer almost every day and Norton is continuing scanning my computer whenever I am working on my computer and does a short scan every day. So I was really surprised to see nomorerack on my computer. Really concerned me since I know how tight my security is.

Then I looked around the web to see what it was. Momorerack company is legit, but it gets lots of complaints. If one has shopped surfed somewhere online for an item, lots of those sites will inject related advertising into your Facebook, Google, and other pages based on cookies lthey've placed on your computer. I recall surfing to find bedpans about two years ago, and everywhere on line I went I was being shown bedpans to buy. So that could be part of how Momorerack advertising is showing up. The other way pages of advertising shows up in e-mails is the "phone home" for pictures command plugged into e-mails. The e-mail doesn't show that there are any attachments, and the e-mail size is very small, but when the e-mail is opened, it is filled with images. What has happened is that underneath the e-mail in the HTML there are commands that say, "go to this company and get this picture and put it here", and same thing over and over until finished. And that would be how Momorerack gets so much "stuff" into an e-mail with no attachment. It "phoned home" to get the pictures when the e-mail was opened. Might be that cleaning out the internet temp files and cookies will help. But lots of cookies are beneficial. You can use CCleaner to select the cookies you want to keep when you use to clean up your computer, and then it will delete the rest.

Is this what you mean? By clicking on spam, I meant that whenever I receive an email which is spam, my computer puts into my spam file. Some programs call it a trash file I believe. When I see that their are emails in my spam file I just go in there and delete because I don't want them. There were two spam files in there this morning. On the one was titled that I am receiving this file because I joined their site. which I did not, so I just deleted it. The second spam email said the same thing, so I opened to find out what site they meant. It opened it up to look at it to determine where it came from and at that moment the entire page became a commercial for nomorerack. Now everytime I open the spam page, this entire page is an advertisement for this store or site called nomorerack. I cannot get rid of it.

That would be the first steps. Joy On 2/15/2014 8:11 AM, wstjs@aol.com wrote: > I read the discussion yesterday on here about nomorerack but did not know what everyone was discussing. Then this morning I had two spams on my computer and when I went to delete them I saw they both said that I was receiving this email because I had signed up for that site. I deleted the first one and when the second email told me that I also had signed up for that site. I knew I had not signed up for either site just by reading the name on the email, but the second one I became curious as to what site were they referring to so I clicked on the email to find out what site it was. Suddenly this full page of products appeared on the page and now when ever I click on spam I get this full page add for a place called. "nomorerack". > > How do I get rid of this page? There is no place where I can delete it or remove it. I have never run into anything like this before. Can anyone help. > > Janet --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
