Karmagirl...problem with advertisments again!
Saturday, September 20, 2003 by kona0197 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Every now and then a popup comes up and says "do you wish to install gator componets from gain INC?"
It has happened twice today to me and a bunch of times before in the last week.
Last time I checked, Goter componets are nothing but spyware and such.
Anybody else have this problem?

ummm, on an off note;
I couldn't update my desktop shot until about 10 minutes ago... It kept hanging and giving me a page error....
I do not know if it is because I flushed my end or if it was on ya'lls end, but it just worked out of no where...

| Thats about as stupid as that "Are you Sure" Prompt when you tell Windows to Shut Down....In that case you TELL your computer OS to do something and it acts like you've spoken to it in Latin |

Probably your end. Turning off the banner ads does nothing to the site code wise. The code is still there to serve the ads, just the ads aren't being shown.

If it happened when you logged in after my post #64, it is 100% not coming from this site.

"Oh a different person now is it, Supervisor? Couldn't 'Rex' handle the truth?
So, you're blaming it on the old ActiveX ey? Did I tell you that I use AOL? and that it's security settings are very high? werigh huh, i still get Gator on my system.
I have to admit, I already knew that GAIN would try to blame this on the End User (im this case, me), But what I don't understand is why you do not admit what you do, (and blame it on the End User) even when I pasted to you (or Rex) 2 websites clearly stating what Gator really is! AND showing proof that an anti-spyware program SURFACED a Gator Variant on my system! All i want you to freakin' do is admit it, It's obvious, everyone knows already, you're like the biggest target for Anti-Spyware Applications, But I prefer you to admit it before i conclude that you people are complete hypocrites and liars since you won't tell an End User what you really are when one asks you!
And another thing, I believe that Gator popups are also overwhleming incipients of certain sites. A friend said that whenever he visits a valuable and reliable website (wincustomize.com) that he get's a Gator popup, even when the admin told us that Gator has no association with the site whatsoever. What do you say to that? same thing as usual? "Oh it's not us~ it's your ActiveX~", Now for the last time, tell me the truth. Tell me that Gator is primarily spyware."

Seiphon....please reread my post #40....and take heed of it. You are conducting yourself like a fool.
Give it a rest....as I said before, a more appropriate action would be for you to humbly apologise for being quite so obnoxious towards another person/s who has/have at all times conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism.
