	This problem is not malware, It happens through web sites and cookies, quite sophisticated but your every click is collected and analysed so my guess is that they have simply matched you up to a specific age group, most web sites that promote/advertise services advertise dating agencies and as such they target the group most relevant to their product. I looked at a car manufacturers web site last week (I'm looking for a new car ) all sites I've visited since that do adds have suddenly started adds for that make of car that i looked at including youtube and GR Roy

	ps with malwarebytes it gives you a free trial of the advanced version when this runs out ignore the nags about upgrading it will still run in the basic mode which is all you need update it weekly and run a fresh scan once a week or straight away if you open up a dodgy email

	Maggie, have you by any chance looked at the Sagazone site, or the other 'over 50s' site that was mentioned on here this last week ? I looked at both and then had the 'mature dating' ad come up.

	probably got some sort of addware on your computer tracks where you have been and loads up related adds if you download a programme called malwarebytes(its free) and scan your computer it will get rid of them and lots of other nasties on there as well

	Do I keep getting ads for Mature Dating Agencies at the side of the page. Not on GR, but You tube??? The only thing for the 'mature person' I have shown any interest in, ages ago, but never did anything about was 'Grannysnet'. I'm perplexed.
