all this internet advertising bullshit

Isle · 03-22-2004, 03:23 PM

so much fucking crap tries to flood my pc every day. i've got a popup blocker, but now when i go online my homepage gets fucked and some advertising site comes up instead and refreshes about 100 times a minute so as soon as you start typing a different web addy in it refreshes and fucks up whatever you were writing. then, once you get past that, every ten minutes a flash of around 70 popups show themselves, slowing down whatever i'm trying to do or read and impairing my vision. they eventually stop after about 30 seconds. but FUCK. NOONE PAYS ATTENTION TO GODDAMN NET ADS. I DO NOT WANT PORN. I DO NOT WANT INSURANCE. I DO NOT WANT FONY SOFTWARE. I WANT TO BE LEFT IN PEACE TO WASTE MY TIME BROWSING THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY. IF ANY OF THE BUTTFACES WHO SEND JUNK MAIL AND ADS TO EVERYONE ARE READING THIS, YOU NEED TO GET A REAL JOB AND STOP BEING A CUNT WHO NEEDS YOUR ASS SLASHED WITH A CHAINSAW BY FRED DURST.

PEACE.

Step One! Use Adaware and Spybot (and maybe CWShredder) to clear all the spyware from your computer.

Step Two! Stop using IE because it's an incredibly insecure piece of crap.

stop using internet explorer.. god yes.. go to mozilla.org, find and download mozilla firefox. you'll never see another popup ad in your life, and it does it automatically.

How about yes? Webdesign is a nightmare when you have to keep adding fixes to deal with IE's broken behavior, the sooner people move on to a decent web browser the better. Just out of interest (since you lot seem to know a bit about computers), have you locked down your ActiveX settings for the Internet?

That's not fair, Lee. It's only insecure because of what people like you keep saying about it behind its back.
