Political and topical news and commentary
Some things are becoming intrusive.
Published on January 16, 2007 By adnauseam In Internet
We all know how the marketing companies use the internet for sales talk and image boost. Can't blame them. Why miss an opportunity! We also know that we can blast pop-ups with our blockers . Now there seems to be a new thing happening and it worries me.

Example: I am Googling away (e.g. Airliners.net), and the sites come up as they always do . Then I click on Airliners.net in the Google page and up comes Devlin.com, a non-related site with links to sex sites. Click on a sex site and you get ads for more sites and continue to click and more ads for sex sites (The sex sites never come up--it seems to be a loop of sorts that goes nowhere). By the way, I do not spend my valuable time looking for sex sites!

Do it again and the page looks exactly like Devlin.com but is now called Greenday.com (or whatever) AND the page looks exactly the same with the same links! Into the loop again and wasting my time because I want Airliners.net.

Have any Joeusers experienced this? Seems to me that the entire WWW needs a clean-up before things go completely haywire.

You know what worries me? That the entire web will become a massive, to use a metaphor, "coitus interruptus", and there will be so many interruptions and distractions that our eventual aim (to gain information ), will be frustrated. Can it happen? Does the Web need cleaning up---like a massive Norton sweeping away trash?

I agree, that endless looping whilst looking for pron sites is irritating.




uh oh... that's not what you're talking about, huh?




nevermind....

It does need cleaning up in general. Yes, it is frustrating when you get linked or 'tossed' onto other sites that are not even related to what you're looking for. And those porn/sex sites that keep cropping up can be very frustrating!

It is an impossible task though, isn't it? (to ckean it up that is)


BTW, you have posted this article twice, so you will need to clean up!!

It also sounds as though you may have a BHO (browser help object) redirecting some of your sites. IIR there is a program out there called BHO Daemon that will get rid of these (if you in fact have one)

I would also guess that this is the root cause of all those broken External Links that show at the end of your articles. I think your computer needs a purge.

How true - I could do with a couple of young girls close at hand while browsing...

That is not logical.

I agree.

Now, a couple or 3 would be logical.

some of you guys are sick,, she asked a simple question and she should have received a respectful answer. I would think on this forum you could expect an intelligent response. But I was wrong apparently..

adnauseum, try running "Hijack This" a free program from Merijn.org. You can download it from WWW Link">Link

You also should get an anti-spyware program, an anti-virus program and a firewall. You can find links to free programs from by site at WWW Link

Good luck.
