Adds on Home Page, Why?
Sunday, September 27, 2015 by JuniorCrooks | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Why am I getting a pop-up for 75% off games every time I open the wincustomize site? I do not play games and even if I did it is annoying. If I use adblock plus for the wincustomize site it screws up my home page. The other thing is I was under the understanding that as a subscriber you do not get the ads. What is the solution to get rid of the ads? I am not impressed Stardock would be doing this sort of thing.

The Stardock promotion will be removed shortly.
That is good news however I don't want anything similar to this in the future, I do not believe I am alone in that wish. I do not play games and if Stardock wants to advertise their software to me they can continue to do so the way they have been doing it which is through emails.

Not wanting this to become a beating the dead horse thread it would appear that subscribers to WC are not going to get an explaination as to why we were subjected to seeing the advertisment. Now seeing the advertisment really was all that upsetting but I believe emails were sent out also. Were both necessary?

Hate to revive this thread, but why am I seeing ads for Ray Ban sunglasses (among others) across the entire top of pages on the site? They seem to show up everywhere on the site randomly, even on the home page. On each ad in the bottom right corner is says Ads by Wajam also if that helps.
Nevermind, I did a search on Wajam and found out it was some sore of Malware, and it's really weird because I never installed it.

That's essentially the point of 'malware'...
Bit like my philosophy re gardening....
If I planted it...it's a plant.
If I didn't plant it...it's a weed...

With my brother before he passed, anything he didn't plant was a weed
And anything he DID plant.... was still weed.
At one point he had my father watering it for him, though at the time dad had no inkling of what it was he had been nurturing. It just wasn't around where he grew up during the war years, and he was never the party goer where he may have come in contact with it, so he wouldn't have recognised it in either its natural or harvested states. Hehe, and it's just as well nobody told him what it was he'd been watering... or he'd have gone ballistic and kicked my brother's backside up to his shoulder blades.
