Since the newly imposed new BT Yahoo Mail there are the most annoying ads appearing. At the top, at the side, some in very bad taste and some open a new full sized window. I've tried a SM System Restore to when it wasn't happening ( last known 22 June) but to no avail. Another strange thing, the PC of SWMBO does not exhibit this. I do have Simple Adblock running. It does not happen with Firefox. Any ideas?

Maybe the PC/Browser that doesn't display the ads has something more effective, like Adblock+ add-on for Firefox.
The other option is some sort of malware on the affected machine. Just to be on the safe side it might be worth running something like Malwarebytes on the machine (go to malwarebytes.org click "Free Download" if you don't already have it).
@knowndeserter Thanks for that, I'll look into it..

The new style was announced a while back. The new UI isn't half as user friendly as the old one.
I wonder what will happen to one's "throw away" email addresses as they were "@ yahoo.co.uk".

The email q and a suggests not. You have to set up new ones I think.....
but it sounds like you have adware installed, did someone forget to uncheck a box when they installed some software?
