Removed the nasty ad! Or yellow snow again….

Bloody hell… Why did nobody tell me that there was a nasty Ad on the site which was trying to install something, spawning windows, playing sounds etc? I’ve discovered that by an accident! Firefox for UNIX silently blocks all the crap, but Explorer for Windows was shouting madly.

So, the ad was from company called “Pay-Ads”. Don’t use it. And don’t use Internet Explorer. And don’t use windows. And don’t eat that yellow snow!

Test result from SiteAdvisor

Checked!The result of the SiteAdvisor test is:

” We tested this site and didn’t find any significant problems.”

The only “minor safety/annoyance issue” that was found was the counter from extremetracking.com, because it’s linked to free-webspace.biz which is a “distributor of malware, spyware and adware”. In order to keep the site “clean and green” I removed the counter.

Ads forwarding stopped working

…several hours ago. The company is aware of the issue. The service should be back by tomorrow.

BTW, I would like to mention the immediate response from the ShoppingAds owner Patrick Gavin. The ad campaign is still in the testing phase and not stable yet, but I like the attitude.

And thanks for clicking!
