I was wondering which spyware you think is the most wide spread among adult surfers?

Thanks

My thoughts exactly, if it resets ANYTHING in my computer then it is the worst I have seen.

It's gotten so I have to run my spyware thing more than I run anything else in the maintenance of my computer.......... it's gotten WAY out of control!!!

Tam do you find alot of spyware comes back after you remove it with tricky registry settings?

I think the ones that are the worst are the Australian ones.

You remove spyware except Aussie spyware.

Those guys are the worst...no offense Romper Stomper

From what I understand they have changed names 4 times in the last year and have over 100 different variatiions of there "product" .
I do not however know if they are still at the top of the spyware installed lists

thanks for all your feedback

It's all bad. Every last one of them.

But the one that really pisses me off the most, and who I'd like to see die a slow, painful death, is Spyhunter. Anything that pretends to help you and just fucks you in the end, is beyond low. Typical wolf in sheep's clothing.

BTW- Just so you know, there's a likely chance that you'll be banned. Especially if a certain someone notices your posts.

Hello
Why would I be banned?

And do you have evidence of spyhunter really installing spyware when it is meant to be a removal program?

fudpuck · 05-27-2004, 11:57 PM

Not sure which one is the worst..but all of them I have on my old PC suck ass.

I am a little concerned about why you think I would be banned Holly?

Can you please tell me what you think I am doing wrong?

clickhappy · 05-28-2004, 12:33 AM

any one of them that links words on the IE page to some sponsor.

So words like sex and vacation will be linked. I hate that because the page takes forever to load up. It's awful to make people sit there and wait 15 seconds everytime they go to a new page, so the spyware can re-write the pages to fit it's ads in.

Im guessing your sig bro (not sure but linking from a board to another isnt a good idea) guessing you didnt know just change it to something else that cant potentially steal gfy members

No harm no foul

Put a signup4cash banner in there ;) haha

This has *got* to be someone's character.

No offense, but if you really do run a spyware board, then maybe you should start doing a little reading and research. Some of the things you're asking questions about should be common knowledge for someone in your position. You really need me to post *proof* about the deal with SpyHunter? Surely you must know about them.

re: the banned thing- spamming other boards is a big no-no here. Most of the posters don't care but the person who owns this site does.

Now tell me who you really are.

Mefo · 05-28-2004, 12:43 AM

I've got some sucky fucker here atm, it changes sigs off all people, and I can't get rid of it

Are you talking about words that have the double underline and when you mouseover them, a little pop-up box gives you an ad you can click? Like at majorgeeks and a few other places? If so, that's not spyware, it's some new advertising bullshit. If that's what you mean, I can tell you a quick trick to get rid of them.
