PhordPhan Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Clicked on my favorites and clikced on nanaplaza.com. After a couple of minutes I noticed a pop-under ad for HERBAL CURE FOR AIDS! WTF??? Here's the link... http://www.aidscureherbal.com/ Does KS or anybody know about this? These clowns aren't new sponsors are they? Pehaps I'm hallucinating? PhordPhan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utah2001 Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Perhaps it's a ad linked to a previous site you visited. I've never received the ad, and those "pop under" ads are particularly annoying because they can sit there for some time before being noticed. I like your ending!

khunsanuk Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Hi, I can guarantee you that this site does not have pop-under ads. I *hate* those things with a passion. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhordPhan Posted February 7, 2002 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Thanx! I only recall going to Fox News before visiting Nanaplaza, but I must have gone somewhere else in the interim and missed it. I try to keep an eye out for the damn things and close them whenever they appear. But, I learned something. I didn't know there was a simple herbal cure for AIDS! So what's all this fuss about? For a few dollars a month you have no worries! PhordPhan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALHOLK Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Hi! Khun Sanuk quote: I *hate* those things with a passion. There is an eve worse kind. The start out minimized and contain a timer. After a certain time, normally about 10 minutes, the change to full screen without any visible means of closing them. The aften contain hard core porn which makes them extra annoying if you are surfing dubious sites at work. regards ALHOLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 Hi, A quick CTRL-W takes care of windows like that. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 Khun Sanuk, Thanks for the Ctrl-W info. Always wondered how to do that. BTW: Alta Vista and Infoseek (go.com) now have background pop-ups. You access the search engine and a pop-up occurs behind the page you're looking at. You don't see it until you've closed the page. They must be getting paid by the amount of time the pop-up is active. VERY sneaky. Spam is getting out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PC people must accommodate your disability by providing porn to ease your addiction. Certainly the PC people can not fire a disabled person!
