FYI--You can download ad-aware and it removes all unwanted programs...

Sorry...not really interested in reading all of the posturing and whining above. How 'bout you save me the time, and repost the link.

And I am referring to one of the links that alledgedly installs the adware, spyware, redirection code.

bump

I don't know who runs I-look but I had it auto-installed on my damn pc a few months back and I couldn't do ANYTHING!! I took over where I went and what I saw..I ended up having to reformat my pc completely to get rid of it..what a pain in the ass!!!

As for MPB, Whitney is awesome and knows her job and does it well...just b/c you're a sales rep doesn't mean you know everything that your company does or is involved with.:thumbsup
They are a solid program and I continue to do biz with them!

you cannot write a contract withh anyone that overrides the leal ownership of another companies trademark, thus any terms and conditions are void and meaningless as the origional company on trademark issuse would have to agree to the contract.

Well, that is not exactly true, it doesn't remove them all. I currently have to use THREE to keep all the crap at bay. I have yet to find one that removes everything, so I end up having to run 3. I do spybot first, then I use Ad-Aware and finally i use Spyhunter that is the only one that I have found that can locate and remove a few of hexkey problems/registry problems the others try but can't remove

Shit like this is why I'd settle for 30 or 40% revshare, PROVIDED I'm not also fucked up the ass in the process.

After letting the other spyware programs get the easy stuff, hijackthis is by far the best program you can use. And it's free.

But you really have to know what you are doing.
a) Take a look at the Scan results.
b) Then, do a search on google for any entries that look suspicious. If it's a known trojan, 99% of the time there will be data on it, and instructions on how to remove it completely.

Don't attack Whitney and/or Rocki if you value your time here.

word

What Rocki is saying is absolutely true. A lot of times I know about their newest sites and projects way before their sales reps do. Hell I've been working with JB on TCG 3.0 for over 6 months before it became public or even before the sales reps had access to it. Like Rocki said, don't assume sales reps are in the know about the backend operations of their businesses.

Well said Rick.

Pop-up toolbar spreads via IE flaws
http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-5229707.html

looks like the FBI is already after them ...

Thanks Misty.. So far it has been great for me.. At least everytime I log in I don't have squire.com or zestyfind.com as my home page.. I kept going into my add/delete programs and couldn't find the shit.. At least ad-aware got rid of it for me!!

True to the norm..I have posted a couple of times above asking anyone to provide me with a link that will download the "alledged" scumware to my computer. But, as always, the paper-tigers on this board prefer to sit and bitch...

All words...no action...the catch phrase for GFY.

ODIE


here is a link to uninstall the I-lookup toolbar

http://www.i-lookup.com/faq.php

How is it that you had to Reformat ??

I don't believe it when people say they got this stuff on their machine without knowing.

Just surf some of the TGP"s out the and see how many times you will be attacked by downloads. If you don't know what you are doing then you get infected.



Blahman

You are a fucking tool. Get a clue. If you are going to bash people have the balls to show your identity. Or are you too scared people will find out you are a 17 year old kid living in Moms house and jumping on the bandwagon like half the people on GFY?


:2 cents:

I'll Second what Rick just said...

And everyone knows how I feel about assclowns attacking my friends, especially girls... :BangBang:

MegaPornBucks, I use to respect you guys, but rest assured what respect I had for you has now been replaced by contempt.

As of now I have taken down all MPB links on all my MGP and TGP's and will not be sending any traffic to them, ever again.

What a bunch of crooked people. I urge everyone else sending traffic to them to do the same. Every surfer they fuck is a surfer the industry loses. Those people are not gonna be buying memberships anywhere else.

:feels-hot

don't be lazy..read the posts abopve and you will find the link.

how hard can it be ?? it's highlighted blue .


:glugglug

The fact that this surprises anyone is what surprises me. I've been posting about how this shit is ruining commerce on the internet for everybody for months now. Seriously, they are crippling the internet.

Yeah, it surprises me that you're surprised :winkwink:

kidding..

I've been "auto-installed" by this bullshit too and it's no fun to get rid of either.

Thanks for the help. (insert sarcasm here).

Anyhow, I will repost my earlier post....

Of course...as always...there is a certain irony to this.

Many of the people who are complaining about alledgedly losing their commissions due to redirecting, are the very same people who freely promote websites that scam the consumer...ripping them off of their hard earned cash.

This includes "the penis pills" (really, are any of you really that stupid to think that an OTC pill can cause localized skin and organ growth). And then, my favorite Adult Site scam. (Which virtually all of the majors on this board employ). The "amazing rebilling trial". You know, the one where you get a 3 day trial....and some where a couple thousand words down in the T & C's you will find the clause "must be cancelled at least 24 hours before end of trial" to avoid rebilling. Throw in a couple of rebilling cross-sells, and the surfer could be in for quite a surprise come CC statement time.

Yep, the scammers being scammed. Somewhere along the line, the sympathy kind of disappears....

Ditto that :321GFY and I am one unhappy mofo:feels-hot

I think what I find the funniest is that there has been no response from MPB and when I went looking at all the galleries that I had a list of that I had previously used and had spyware, popup hell and scumware on them before are now going to a no-popup version of it. I think someone has been hard at work changing out the coding that was causing all the installs and spyware crap. Just for the record though when I originally had the problem in May with them and made a post about it the two things I remember it installing on my computer were I lookup and an icon to buy something from cellphonebucks.com. There were two or three other icons for other stuff as well but I don't remember the products or the companies involved.

At least one good thing has come from this thread though... they have evidently changed the galleries and tours so the surfers aren't getting hammered. Either that or my software is getting rid of everything that's on the pages.

Just another giggle I got though... Did anyone see their top 3 converting sites for the week? #1 Spam Notify, #2 Kill XP Popups and #3 Kill Internet Popups

oh and here are the entries from the removal that spybot did: (this was the second removal I did that day. I removed everything and then didn't open anything but one of the galleries to see if that was indeed the problem and this is what was found after I viewed the gallery and immediately ran my spybot again)

No offense here, but you've already been told it's on the first page. There was a link to a site posted, I made a comment about another link on that site, and even hotlinked the actual graphic. I don't think it's anyone's job to keep posting it because you can't be "bothered" to actually read a thread in which (ironically) you're telling the rest of us that we're not willing to do anything about it.

Like I said, no offense and I'm not trying to pick a fight. I did take the time to check it out, and I did take the time to post the info. It just seems silly that you can't click on the first page of the thread, but you can make 3 or 4 posts about it. :)

You talk alot of shit boy.

First off you don't even know Rocki, Jb, etc

2nd. When your in the company of adults, please show some respect.

3. Rocki is well respected in our industry and a class act!

Peace

Todd

go suck benettes cock rocki

you stick up for your friends because they make you money

it would be like you saying benette is not up to any shady shit, no you did not know about it

haahahahahahhahaha

49th parallel is nothing but a whining baby snitch who isn't even the biz...ignore him.

You seem to think that you have great knowledge of the people that work for these companies. If you knew jack shit you would know what you have already been told. Whitney does not own MPB, she is a great girl, class act and know's what the hell she is doing. I noticed that you just went and tried to slam TCG as well. You might want to quite while you're ahead.

never said she owns it, she runs it. she does all the pr for it, there for, she runs it.

so you guys are stepping up to the plate for a bunch of women? implying they can't handle their own battles?

i see...interesting.

interesting how nobody from mega porn bucks came on and posted, but oh let me guess they are ALL on vacation on a business day.

lets ask JoeE what a whore rocki is, i am sure he has lots to say!

You'd be surprised how computer illiterate the average user is. I spent about 4 hrs the other night removing all the shit from a ladies computer. It was so bad she couldn't even connect to the internet.

damn... that is one hell of a business plan. Let's get as many infected as we can to create a market for our products :(

I hardly think a PR person translates into running a company.
WG

First off...Bashing Rocki and Whitney isn't going to buy you any credibility here....especially with such low class comments.

Second, I think most will agree that it does appear that you have some sort of a personal axe to grind with TCG and Megapornbucks based on your rhetoric.

Finally, you've said your piece...now why don't you relax and wait till you hear a response from those you've accused.

Buddy you have a LOT of damn balls going after Whitney and Rocki with absolutely NO proof or credibility for ANYTHING.

Why not post with your real nickname jackass? You're no lurker or newbie - you are a regular. So let's see the real name.

isearch made it to abcnews recently
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/SciTe...onInsider.html

they got bitch-slapped by overture and most probably didnt get paid for the traffic

You fucking IDIOT... Now you got me MAD.

You calling Rocki a whore hidding behing your computer.

BTW My name is Jean-Francois Laverdiere and I live in Winnipeg you FUCK FACE

You have NO BALLS at all .... Grow some and hit me up ICQ: 124588247 or call me 250 616-0837

You better hope I don't find out who you are ....
:2 cents:

hiding behind a nic and shouting insults....yaaay

im going to listen everything you say from now on....lol

it would be interesteing to me if someone started collecting peoples writing styles...the way they structure their responses

it wouldnt be perfect, but i bet it would be pretty obvious

JMan

I am in the mood to knock some heads in too.. I hope you find out who this motherfucker is ..

but.. as we know.. Lots of chicken shits here on GFY.

That's it. Where are you?

My thoughts exactly.

This guy is probably just pissed because he got his account termed for doing something ignorant. The smallest dogs bark the loudest.

Blahman = Cowardly piece of shit asshole.

Who the heck are you and what do you present that is worth anything else than an asswhopping?

I bet your teenage classmates tease you every day and that this is the only way you seem to know how to get "even".

Rocki and Whitney are beyond you in all ways imaginable.

:321GFY :321GFY :321GFY

What has happened has happened, and it's VERY unfair to say that a PR person/sales person/marketing person has knowledge of this. I am a marketing guy myself and I can honestly say that I'm the last to know when things content/programming related are changed. When it comes to site releases, billing, affiliate features, we're 100% in the know. Otherwise it's something that rarely hits our ears. Whitney is a real class act and I don't doubt that she had an idea of what was going on. With that having been said, I'm sure this flaw will be cleaned up soon, and that we'll hear comments when word of this thread hits their ears.

Now, let's hold off on the bashing until MPB comments on this. Without their words, this is just a 1 sided bashing fest that won't produce any real answers.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Go away now.:321GFY

This has gone pretty far now, and it's way off topic.

I don't see what any of this has to do with Whitney and expecially Rocki, they both are sweethearts and know their shit and are well liked and respected.


This thread definitely embodies what GFY has become lately, sad.

This is great, the thread goes from MPB scamming surfers and webmaster traffic, theres no need to contest the proof, we all saw it, its a no-brainer it was happening. BUT the threads now turns its direction towards this other nick blahman, who gives a fuck about him or what he says, if MPB is so respectable and good people the thread wouldnt have been started to begin with. Lets move our attention back to the people that are stealing your money, and all you fuckers are worried about some annon troll? :1orglaugh

Blahman... show some class and apologize to the girls... there is nothing worse than people blaming the employees for doing their jobs...

Many staff members are left in the dark on lots of deals and projects.. but that does not give others the right to assume and place blame b/c the sales people are easy public targets...

if you really want to argue your case... and show credibiltiy please find a different angle, b/c your current one shows nothing but the wits of a 14 yr old on a short school bus :2 cents:

Haha you know how the industry works ALL too well. :)

Try reading what you quote next time. Pay close attention to the last line.

If you install the adware killer the same way the toolbar got installed you wont have any problems .. GET IT.

i.e. you clean out your surfers computers for them :)
