Popup Madness on this site
Thursday, January 29, 2004 by zak326 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I hsave paid for a subscription to this site and tonite when I logged on. I was immediateoly bombarded with popups from an outfit called enigmaswoftware. I counted something like 25 popups in less than 3 minutes. By the time one pays for the strdock package and then this subscription, it adds up to real money and there is no excuse for thiospop b ombing.
I would have sent an email to the swebmaster but of course ther is nno contact us link.
HAS ANYONE ELSE BEEN ENIGMA'D

Hmm must be spyware.
No it's NOT stardock's, before someone thinks that.

I don't get popups because of a popup blocker, but what you describe really sounds like spyware. I doubt it's the site.

Could it be you had other open Internet windows that did the popups?
Last I heard WC has no popups, just banners.
