Acer TravelMate 7720G [Remove Acer adverts]

My Acer 7720G laptop has Vista installed, it all works OK.
The Acer L/top on the other hand has a bunch of "builtin" Acer advertising flashing up if I leave the screen for a few minutes. I have read it all and now it's a pain in the proverbial butt. The ads dissappear as soon as I start work again but I really want them switched off now.

How do I switch it off? Is that possible? I have searched all over and cant find any way to switch these flashing ads off, please help.

Hello PeteC,

Tnx for your response.

No, it's not a screen saver, I know about those and have something different set for that. I have since discovered that it is driven by "Flash Player ". The status bar shows a button with "Flash Player" on it when it flashs up and does the advert thing. It also shows some of the functions that Acer has setup on the L/top. I think "Flash Player" is an Adobe function but cant see anything in the Adobe folder/files that refers to advertising type stuff !??

cleaning out Acer stuff

Google for a prog called pcdecrapifier ---- or,something very similar to that. A little tool that removes all that bundled adware stuff.

 

"OH !! How embarrassment !! "

PeteC, you were right mate ! I went back and double checked my screen savers and there it was; it's called "Acer" and it displayed exactly what I was complaining about. ( How embarrassing )

Thanks guys for your responses ....
