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

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. "Chefry" dont.have.email@all wrote in message ... Are you kidding me???? JEASUS CHRIST!

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 On Tue, 25 May 2004 13:24:58 -0400, "SCUBApix" wrote: No I wasn't kidding. That's what happened to me. And I don't have a virus. I did this at work.

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? "Melba's Jammin'" wrote in message ... Hmmm, it did none of those things when I tried it today, Jack.

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? George SCUBApix wrote: Barb, At 2:08pm Eastern Time today (5/27), I went to this site.

Did the same thing! |

I did and tried Frank's site and it worked. I didn't get any crap. 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. Cookie |
