Default Franks Recipes! Site Update

AVOID THIS SITE!

It tries to force you to download a program. I had to click 3 or 4 times
saying no or closing the popup before i went away. It also sends you to a
gambling site when you close down his site.

Check too that there are no viruses on one's computer that do the
same thing.

I just went to this site and had no trouble at all, but I do have a popup blocker.

No I wasn't kidding. That's what happened to me. And I don't have a virus. I
did this at work. I'm behind a firewall and have up-to-date virus protection
on my PC. I also did not have this happen at any other web site I visited. I
just posted my experience to warn others. I do NOT have any popup blocker.
That may save you if you have one.

Actually I knew about the popups. When I signed up to that host over a year ago it was
supposed to be a popunder at exit. Now it's a popup at every page. I hope to have a new
host in the next couple of days. Frankly (no pun intended), I
m tired of their crap. I try to run a family oriented recipe website and I don't need the
popups and neither do my users.

I'll let you know when I get another host

Default Franks Recipes! Site Update

Barb,
At 2:08pm Eastern Time today (5/27), I went to this site. It continually
makes a 'bonging' sound, my security window poped up asking if I wanted to
"install and run Media Tickets to view content on this site". There was
more. I clicked "No" and got a little message box saying I must click yes to
view this site. I closed that box and the security warning poped up again.
After clicking "No' and closing the message box, the 'bonging' stopped and I
found an extra IE browser (blank) window opened. I closed it and then saw
Frank's Recipe site. I closed that site and this time was not sent to a
gambling site.

I guess I'm just lucky to get all this attention from the site. But I
certainly won't be looking there again. I can't explain why you didn't have
all the attention I got. Maybe you have a popup blocker?

I use Netscape 7.1x and have no problems with that site. The automatic
popup blocker, in conjunction with my other net protectors appears to
eliminate them. what are you using Jack?

I had turned off my popup blocker for something else and went to this site.
Did the same thing!

It also has a very nice function (which took me awhile to notice so that
is why I am pointing it out to you) that puts your search words on the
toolbar. Say you are searching for "plum preserves." Those two words
are put on the toolbar. When you open a site, you can click on one of
the words and it does a search for the occurrence of the word on the
page. Beats opening the "Edit Drop-Down Menu" and opening "Find" and
typing in the word you are looking for repeatedly.
