∙ 8y agoAds generally come from one or both of two sources: the website code, or your computer (via Ad-ware). To deal with website ads, try getting one or more addons for your browser. Firefox and Opera have some good addons I know of which do this, and I'm sure Chromium does as well. My favorite is probably Ghostery (www.ghostery.com), and some other good ones are Ad Block, Ad Block Plus, and No Script. As for adware, I suggest you install one or more scanners, like Free Spybot Search & Destroy (www.safer-networking.org/mirrors) or Ad-aware (paid software). Update and scan with it/them. Either one will probably find any adware, although I think Spybot is better. Also, check your web browser addons list and disable anything you did not install--Adware often hides here.

How do you stop 7zip from using an intermediate temp directory when decompressing files?
7-Zip doesn't know folder path of drop target. Only Windows Explorer knows exact drop target. And Windows Explorer needs files (drag source) as decompressed files on disk. So 7-Zip extracts files from archive to temp folder and then 7-Zip notifies Windows Explorer about paths of these temp files. Then Windows Explorer copies these files to drop target folder. To avoid temp file usage, you can use Extract command of 7-Zip or drag-and-drop from 7-Zip to 7-Zip.
