it is possible to uninstall iternet explorer and install-it again without unistalling/installing windows?

[49thParallel]

Pu the pressure on companies like Standard Internet (12Clicks) to stop downloading this type of mailicious software to surfer's computers. And if you think their practices aren't costing YOU money, think again. The programs that Standard Internet installs on user's computers are designed to monitor web surfing activity and to pop-up windows when surfers go to certain sites. An example would be, the surfer goes to YOUR adult website. Standard Internet's program pops up a adult search engine or other window to take away YOUR sales.

There is no need for that.

their are a lot of ways for this kind of crap to come into your pc.

microsoft messenger or any other instant message service is a way to let them in, you have to turn these things off, then do a Search on your pc to find where they installed the pop up.

its a pain in the ass.
have fun.

Still costing honest webmasters traffic and earnings, and companies untold millions in lost productivity with your traffic stealing trojans and other assorted adware - spyware downloads?

But back to my other comment... to all supporters of Standard Internet / 12Clicks....

Want to test it for yourself...go to www.clickheretofind.com
They used to have a stopannoyingpopups ad that downloaded winpup32.exe onto unwary surfer's computers. Now, they use the download emotion icon, trick. Try the download..then run a adware /spyware detector on your system. You will find an assortment of new entries..all designed to serve up ads, when the surfer is trying to go to YOUR site.

Adware/spyware is amazing simple to implement. Whether thru trick downloads or active x exploits. But, as you should be able to tell by now, I'm not a really big fan of the scum that use this technique to profit from the honest work of others.

he's not bright enough to make a living in porn, he's certainly not bright enough to *make* anything.

He also doesn't have a clue about anything I do. If he wasn't hiding in a shack in canada I'd sue him for the lies in this thread.

My god...anyone can go to your sites and recreate the trojan, spyware, and adware scenarios I describe. Does this sound familar to you..."look boss, da plane, da plane"...because one of us is certainly living on fantasy island..and it isn't me, if you get my drift.

Anyhow there champ...please...take a legal swing at me. I welcome any letter you might want to fire off from your lawyers. I would like nothing better then to take this to the public arena. No matter what you say on this board, you know my "alleged" claims of your business practices are dead spot on and can be and have been verified by hundreds if not thousands of internet security watchdogs worldwide. Hell, even Norton, McAfee and others have documented the expolits you use. So bring it on.

And here's another one of my lies...clickheretofind.com offers the emotion icon download to surfers. This download installs Hotbar on the surfers computer. Here is the official word from Norton on Hotbar: (P.S. If it looks like, tastes like and smells like adware and spyware...chances are it is adware and spyware).

Characteristics:

Hotbar is a utility that adds graphical skins to your Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape toolbar along with its own toolbar. However, the program also collects detailed information about the Web pages you view and the data you enter into various online forms (such as your name, email address, telephone number and home address). Hotbar also stores your IP address, domain name, and other information about your operating system. The data collected is used to deliver targeted pop-up advertisements to your computer and add link buttons of competing Web sites to its toolbar based on the Web sites you visit. Hotbar continues to collect information about you even when its toolbar is disabled. It also has the ability to update itself silently, without your knowledge or permission.

Method of Infection:

Hotbar has been advertised via email campaigns, appearing as an official upgrade to Microsoft Outlook. The program is also bundled with older versions of iMesh and other free software programs.

The predecessor to this exploit was the stopannoyingpopups scam from Standard Internet..didn't do dick for stopping popups, but it did do a number on the surfer's registry and installed winpup32.exe, another nasty little exploit.

Ron...no matter how you dice it, there is no slander here.

does SI own hotbar i am sure i have seen other sites trying to install it?

[49thParallel]

Standard Internet may not own Hotbar, but, they knowingly provide the avenue for this program to be installed.

Further, the other exploit I mentioned above, stopannoyingpopus installed winpup32.exe on the surfer's computer. A couple of months back, Ron stated that this company was simply sold ad space through Standard Internet. Even if this was the case, SI was once again providing the avenue for installation of the trojan. But, this was not the case. After a complaint was lodged regarding the improper whois information for stopannoyingpopus and the registered company, invinc...lo and behold, the whois info was updated to reflect the proper ownership, Standard Internet.

Stopannoyingpopus has this week been redirected to historykill...a real popup killer...but, when this exploit was originally revealed by me a few weeks back, the program was simply a cover for winpup32.exe. I had an IT acquantence, the director of the IT department of a large company, recreate and document the exploit at that time. 12Clicks was doing his usual threats, so it seemed in my best interest to insure that I had independent documentation of my alleged claims.

Further, there are numerous independent tech reports on the web which have clearly established a link between stoppannoyingpopups and other SI real estate and numerous adware, spyware trojans.

don't you have a bus to catch joker?
Oh, I see. you complained about the whois and it changed to SI. is that the lie you are running with this week?
what happened to last week's lie about the domain being "Locked and ON Hold and has been removed from the DNS by Servinc." because of your complaints?
fantasy land must suck when you catch the bus and head off to the day job.

You're an idiot. Have you read the TOS for hotbar? The surfer must agree to the condition that their web usage will be collected. It's in the terms:

http://hotbar.com/site/license.htm

Did you know that all of those adaware programs also pick the Alexa toolbar up as spyware? Why? Because it collects data, which i've agreed to let it do that. You say it's malicious, i say people shouldn't be installing software without reading the terms of use, and then having a big ol' bitch about it.

Choda, he has an agenda. Don't confuse him with the facts.

[dchottie]

Have you recently updated your spybot? Usually if I have something and spybot doesn't get rid of it I go update and run it again and generally that solves the problem.

My lies, come again champ?

You forget, what I claim has been documented by many others, including others on this board. Maybe you should spend some time reading through the threads. You will find others who have posted the OLD whois info for stopannoyingpopups. Others who have recreated the trojan downloads. Even your own quotes, which a few threads later are reversed.

Nope, no worries here. My claims can all withstand a rather rigurous investigation. Your cliams...not so much. Actually, you depend more on the relatively low life experience of many on this board to deflect my claims. Sorry champ, but in a more sophisticated arena, anyone would see that your rebuttals are nothing more then a weak attempt at sarcasm and namecalling, with the hopes of deflecting the attention from the actual matter at hand.

In a more sophisticated arena, someone would point out that you don't matter, most of what you've concluded is the distortion of half truths, and I'm teflon.

when do I ever not have a canadian idiot to play with here? you're just the latest version.

Deflection strategy #3. Nice going champ!

[chodadog]

49th, explain this to me. I logged into my amazon.com associate account, and there it was, listed on the amazon.com associates movers and shakers list; Hotbar.

When are you going to report them to the FTC?
