PGC popup ads
« on: November 07, 2005, 04:03:51 AM »
Ok I understand that PGC has to make some amount of money to cover expenses and such. Hence ads on the site and popup ads. But do you really have to stoop so low as to include MOUSE TRAP popup ads? I click on the X to close the window and another ad pops up. I close that one and an ad for WinFixer2005 pops up and starts a download. I close that off and the same ad for winfixer pops up again!

Please and thank you, GET RID OF THESE MOUSE TRAP ADS!

That doesn't sound like anything I've seen running on the site...

Perhaps you caught yourself a case of spyware?

Well I just ran spybot and Adaware, nothing but some lame ass cookies were found. It also only happens with PGC front page. If I turn off Javascript, no popups. Turn it back on, popups. I'd leave javascript off but most every other website i visit is screwed up by disabling it.
