i am really sick of Boobsquad.com pop-ups showing up when i read UM

[Baliset]

grrr argh

google has a really good popup blocker in their toolbar...

http://www.google.com/options/

 

[Baliset]

the thing is i am running google toolbar and it still shows up.

 

[minxnim]

wtf is boobsquad what a horrible name

 

[Baliset]

just a random stupid porn site preppy.

 

[lizard]

my google popup blocker must be stopping boobsquad then. hmmmm

i haven't gotten a boobsquad popup from UM, and i doubt they'd have a porn popup like that. you ought to try running Ad Aware to see if you have any adware installed on your computer.

 

[minxnim]

what alex said.

 

[avi]

yeah that's what I'm thinking too - sounds like a spyware thing, not related to UM at all

 

[lizard]

good idea. if we aren't getting the popups then it is obviously something triggered on yours.

 

[minxnim]

gregs been looking at boobs!

 

[lizard]

he was researching the lactation pizza question.

 

[Baliset]

ok first of all. i was not looking at boobs. at least not at work.

secondly, ad aware just removed 197 objects from the computer, one of which was the old toolbar the guy before me had installed.

what i am thinking is that it would pick up on words on the pages i was viewing and therefore when it saw me reading our board where words like "fucking" get thrown around alot it might have assumed that i was interested in looking at porn and therefore boobsquad.com.

 

[xfer]

i don't think it's that complex, but that's not a bad way to explain away your nocturnal boobsquaddery.

 

[Baliset]

its only on my work computer though

 

[Baliset]

and looking fopr porn on my work computer would just make feel you know...sleazy.

 

[Demonspell]

There has never been sanctioned popup advertising on UM...I'm guessing your computer has one of those spyware programs that uses certain words as triggers to redirect you to the parasite sites...

 

[Baliset]

yeah i knew it wasn't um's fault. it just always popped up when i was viewing um. stupid spyware. fuckerz.
