Is it only me or is anyone else getting popups when logging in to Lit

Got one this morning - some naked chick wanting to know if I wanted a 10" dick ( she had quite nice tits )

Has Lit changed its policy on popup advertising ?

At least it was quick to load and quick to get zapped - it didnt reload when you closed it.

It wassnt a huge deal - but I suppose thin edge of the wedge

They will be selling our emails addys next - bet you !!
 
Check for spyware/adware on your computer you might have some you dont know about.

I haven't got any popups from lit.

Sounds like spyware, I don't get popups anymore.. I used to before I downloaded Ad-aware and Bazooka.

Just logged on again to be sure and i got another one for some porn site


checked the small print and it said that the advert was not related to the site I was visiting - so it isnt from Lit - but it only loads so far when I go to lit , not to any other site !!

So any views on how to get rid of the spyware

and in true talking heads style

How Did it get there ?
 
Go here and download this program: http://spybot.eon.net.au/

It's simply fantastic. Weird Harold told me about it. Make sure you download the updates before you run it. That way you are getting the most up to date protection right away.


Every few weeks this same question pops up. I do wish people would pay attention to this issue so we don't have to have the exact same conversation all the time.

Hope this helps. :)

Anyway I tracked down my little gremlin - it came from old Bill Gates himself.

I down loaded www.hotbar.com the other day - it wasnt that great - gave you emoticons and smilies on your email - but it also surprise surprise tracked your net usage and sent you adverts accordingly

Anyway Hotbar has now ben ejected and all at peace with the world again. :D

Sorry you've got a problem Gord.

Been trying to forget about that !!

after the glories at Anfield - we go and get turned over by a bunch of choochters

Anyway now we can concentrate soley on the league !
 
It's okay gord. I don't remember the topic at all, let alone multiple sessions.

I do remember Weird Harold though.

One smart old dude.
 
Gord, there are probably traces of that hotbar thing in your computer. You really should use some sort of program to clean out your computer. You'd likely be shocked at what you find. If you don't like Spybot, try Adaware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Thanks April

I actually got ad-ware which gave my puter a nice going over. I had 153 seperate liile buggers that were checking me out and then sending the info to God knows who.

They are now history

and to think I trusted Microsoft ;)

Though it is funny - when you first get an automatic download it says tick if you trust any product from Microsoft in the future


Yeah right :D
 
Yeah, right, indeed.

I'm glad you're all set then. That's one down and several billion to go. LOL
 
Trust Microscum? OMG They are one of the worst in selling email addresses to who ever that feel like.

Damn I need pop ups, like this. All I get is ads for drugs, insurance and online gambling.
