Hey Shawn,

This Spyware Warning: pop up has been really annoying me for a long time but I've learned to deal with it.

But now there's some new pop up that's hijacking my homepage and that's just too annoying.

A few days ago when the pop ups were really frequent was less annoying.I don't mind that as long as it isn't those annoying spyware ones or worse this new one that hijacks my homepage.

Also if it only hijacked my homepage that would be annoying enough but before it does it opens up a few pop ups and the only way I can close it is to cntrl alt delete and /end task and then it knocks me offline and I have to reset my homepage and then when I come back to cyberfret it happens again after a entering a couple forums.

I don't mind the sane pop ups even if they are frequent,and I hope you get paid,but it's just annoying to have to end task to close the spyware warning pop ups and downright aggrivating to have this new one causing all this trouble,knocking me offline and hijacking my homepage etc.I don't even know what it's called because it happens too fast and I end up on the last page that pops up and it says "press enter to continue".

Seriously it was less annoying a few days ago when the pop ups were fast and furious (they were zingin).It was kind of annoying but atleast they weren't messin' with me.I could live with them being fast and frequent but not this stuff.

I want to kill people who hijack my homepage. :mad:

thanks/later,

It just did it again !!!! about 30 seconds after I posted this...arghh :mad:

This time I payed attention and it was infact the Spyware Warning: pop up that's doing it.

Shawn find these people and bring them to me so I can rip their bloody heads off! :p

ive seen it a couple of times.

the worst one i ever got came from this forum and it hijacked my browser to some filthy site and screwed up my internet explorer to the point that i tore thru windows and just deleted internet explorer.

I have pulled all ads in the forum until I can look into this further. Know this, that I do not want that type of ad here. I do not place that type of ad intentionally here. Pops, yes....but not spyware or the other.

I found it, the ad was coming from the same bastards that I specifically told not to serve anymore of that type of crap on my site. I have pulled all ads from this advertiser site wide. I am sorry about that. I don't sell the ads myself. I work with a few different advertising agencies. I just put up a code and they do the rest. I have opted out of all automatic download ads with all of my advertisers, but it looks like these guys wanted to keep slipping them in against my wishes. And an ad that takes over your home page, that is complete and utter B.S.
