Antionline email
Hey all,
I've been using AntiOnline email for quite some time now..
There has always been some advertisement on it, which didn't bother me at all, since it is a free service anyway..
But now there was a full screen (F11) popup from http://mail.bigmailbox.com/users/ant...clipgenie.html
And as soon as I clicked [close] and it tried to automaticaly install some clipgenie thingy..
First of all I hate those FULLSCREEN popups.. Second of all I HATE it when software tries to AUTOINSTALL
So I thought well let's see... I sweeped my parent's (WInXP) puter with the latest version of Ad-aware. . . No spyware (just some cookies). . .
Allowed the install of ClipGenie. . .
And you guessed it... Spyware (NetworkEssentials and DownloadWare to be exact)
wich remained even after uninstallation of ClipGenie (wich turned out to be some pr0n download app)..
I don't think that kind of agressive advertisement is called for and I hate spyware...
Sorry for this rant.. I just had to get this off my chest..
ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI.
When in Russia, pet a PETSCII.
