paidandtrade just tried to download

[cyberrat]

I was on the paid and trade web site when first blowsearch took over my browser and I got it closed just to have a box pop up saying downloading and could not get it to close so I guickly shut down my computer before it could finish any web site that lets this happen should be boycotted :( if you put banners on your web site to earn money check them out. Before you infest members computers with junk like blow search :(

also I had not gotten an email from them since oct 21 so I went to check the site and got the message that I need to confirm my email address before I could long in What the HEck I have logged in to this site many times. So I guess when I complained about the trash banner thay had they decided to give me a hard time. They can keep their few cents I am done with them.

Use caution if you go to the site.

having to confirm an account even if you've been a member for months is a CAC bug! i get that on lots of other sites! just email the webmaster and give them the details! they'll fix you up! not the webmasters fault!
no comment about blowsearch though!

[cyberrat]

she took them off. And my account started working to. I think this company blocks your account so that you will stay there and try to log in while the software is hiding and downloading and you mind is else where. but I do believe webmasters have to check out who they let adverise banners and what is exactlly going to be on those banners. I also had a search bar downloaded at that time from Xupiter.com and had to install their uninstall software. there is probally something else still hiding on here and that burns my butt.

yeah, they do need to know what gets advertized at their site as its their rep that is at stake! but a lot of other sites are having problems with the CAC scripts, not only paidNtrade!
when something tries to download on your comp, shouldn't a pop-up warning show first? i get a lot of those from a lot of sites asking me if i wanna download this or that! really irritating at times!

[cyberrat]

not with all of them this one I had gotten a pop up that said it was downloading and it would not close.

don't use windows.

[cyberrat]

then what do you use?

E-mail them. Tell them about it. It is not them, but it is a banner that someone either paid to put on the sites. This is another company that several people mentioned, and others mentioned other companies as well that it is a banner that is doing it. I will be back and get you the link where I found this problem.

Go here and read what the problem is.

It seems to be a special banner, and this is not the only GPT program that is being effected.
