side bar menu things

dont know the right name for them but you know those annoying...for me any way...links to the likes of facebook/twitter/email etc that pop out on some sites, from the left or right and just stick there, how do you get rid of them or stop them popping out.

they drive me mad

You did add a subscription when you got adblock plus didnt you, Baz? That blocks everything automatically pretty much. I never see any of these side things, I see no adverts at all.

There was an update to adblock plus 2.4.1 and some peeps had some issues. Have a look though here, it may help. https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=199849e473f7bf0b06b2b47636bd1c8c
