Any one else getting this?
Thursday, November 20, 2003 by Dreamdesign3d | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Every time I click on a new boot skin in the newest additions list a pop up window of shoes at zappos.com opens up. Not to mention some one is pinging the heck out of the WinCustomize site.

I'm sure I dont have any thing on this end. It only started just after the first boot skin was loaded up. It's the same site with the pop up window, never any one else.

Check out this site.... It is stealing bandwidth, I think. Click on wallpapers and skins. Directly copied from WC. Downloaded from here. I sent emails to some admins... is that pinging?
