Has anyone actually ordered anything from a company that used a pop up service? Do you click ads on a page?

well  i ordered my internet provider through an ad that appeared on yahoo's home page for my local telephone company.  i know why you're asking this...i felt a wee bit uncomfortable in doing it.  just everything you hear about security, credit card numbers, etc.\n\na pop up i would treat as a telemarketer.  would i feel comfortable giving my billing info to someone who called me on the phone and could be from anywhere?  ummm. no.\n\nfreespirit, if you're getting a steady stream of popups, i'd venture a guess that you have a serious problem with spyware.  check some of the sites that exist for advice there.\n\nok- duh!- now i see your previous questions and i guess i feel a little bit foolish...retracing my steps... GOOD CALL, free spirit, yep it's spyware, good luck with that problem. it's hard to eliminate. so far i've been cautious, and very very lucky...

Did you try their website?

After looking around and adding the site to my favourites for later purchase, or having just made one, leaving and they have a pop-up urging you not to leave their site.  It's 100% sure I will write them an e-mail informing that is why I will never use their service again or want to cancel my order.

ClickNGoWeb is a new business based here in NC.  My student teacher's father got in on the ground floor;  she signed up shortly thereafter.  They know the owner of the company personally and can vouch for his intellect, character and reliability. They're already making money for doing nothing!  \n\nThe distributors have the option to sell lank template bwebsites or to make and sell websites or they can simply sign up early enough to reap the benefits of others signing up later.  I just signed up and I'm already #1365 to sign up.  My intern has already made her $189.95 back plus more, so I figure this to be a failsafe venture. You only need to get 2 people to sign up under you, then they get 2 they each of them get 2 more and so on.  The money is supposed to roll in slowly but steadily. I am but a humble schoolteacher with a small child and a husband who loves to golf.  I just want to live comfortably; I don't care about getting rich. \n\nFeel free to email me for more information. Cheers.\nCourtney

There are some companies that will let you order items and then send them to you COD.  There is an extra charge for this.  Check with who you want to buy from

Yes, there are lots of pop up blockers. Some built into XP some to be loaded separately. Some are free and some cost money.\n\nHere are a few dozen to look over - http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?tg=dl-20&qt=popup&tag=srch

I have several sites on Geocities, but wouldn't recommend them anymore, because:\n\n- they have a huge lateral bar on the right full of ads - makes your pages look "cheap"\n\n- they now installed a new effective pop-up system and you see it each time you go on your site (and visitors can think you are doing it, and they close your page right away).\n\nThere are alternatives, but you must check on how they make money (which is fine, as the pages are hosted for free, as long as it's not TOO much ads...): \n\n- Lycos (excellent servers, very fast, reliable for html pages, video, images, etc)\n- Tripod (beware, I think there's a lot of ads there too)\n\nSo now, if I wanted a free host, I think I'd go for Lycos...\n\nGood luck!

First, yes it is BS and secod, if you are getting pop ups, this usually means that your PC is infected with adware and you should remove it.These scans will remove adware.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.

Yes...!! I think they are called 'Lite' versions. \n\nYou can get KazaaLite...AresLIte...etc. \n\nThey're free and they don't have spyware/adware =)

Approach it from a consumer's point of view - if you were looking for this particular product or service, how would you find it? Web search? Yellow pages? Blogs? Online forums? etc etc\n\nI found a great article that should help you further -- see source box.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I don't think there is a company out there that is legit.  I signed up for a couple a few years ago and I ended up getting screwed

Unfortunately, I haven't used them. I've had great success with PR Web, however.\n\nCheers!

You can either go to google.com and do a search for the google toolbar and download that or Yahoo has one as well and they both have pop up blockers. IT WILL MAKE  A BIIIIIIIIIIIIG DIFFERENCE, I RARELY GET POP UPS.
