Recently I have been plagued by Ad Choices Ads on many web sites I visit but not my sites. What is it?

CNN.COM has a web page that describes:
http://www.cnn.com/services/ad.choices


it and an opt-out that only removes the relevency not the ads themselves. Its way too many ads. I know I see ads on a search engine search but not on the target page and I am starting to see that disturbing effect.

 

I would like someone at Norton/Symantec to explain this.  I also feel I should be getting better support from Norton/Symantec regarding the emergence of disturbing  developments like this

 

If you do decide to OPT-OUT the following popup screen appears:
(Note that this does not remove the ads from view just makes them less relevant)

I hope norton as a better solution as its software continues to drain my laptop performance by at least 10% sometimes 18%
