Just been speaking to someone who claims that they typed a personal letter in office,but then was getting adverts for injury lawyers etc. The letter shhe had written was about a hospital and the ad was more or less relating to that from what i gather.

Could this be a keylogger or just a major coincedence???

I may get her to try it again, but with a different subject just to see if this prompts any more suspect ads. Im thinking that these ads in general anyhow, but have advised her to take certain measure etc.

Yeah, ive told her to do the c cleaner bit and also told her to run an antivirus scan to be sure etc.

Im thinking as shes typed her letter, shes been searching online for advice/how to write up etc so its picked up that way

Cheers for the input

I would recommend two plugins for her Web Browser:

Ghostery - which is great at blocking 3rd party trackers
uBlock Origin - A blocker which is not resource heavy and works just like adblock plus if not better.

Additionally, I use HTTPS Everywhere, it works by rewriting requests to websites as HTTPS if its available.
