Anyone else get these ads that LOOK like an error window, but say:
"Your memory is not running at full capacity. Click here for more info."
Why these bug me: 1) It's my computer. How do they know that? 2) Some of these ads obviously aren't error windows, and seem to insult my intelligence.
"ooh, my memory isn't at full capacity? Better fix it!"
Grrrrrrrrr......... That's my dose of bitching for the day.

You want to check for spyware. If you were running XP I'd say disable the Messenger service, but no idea if there even is such a beast on ME.

Nah they just part of the web pade xceque, they are just done as an imagine set forward in the z-index using CSS to look like pop up windows. That way they avoid pop-up killers.

equally irritating are the "you have 2 messages waiting" ads, the "if banner is flashing you are winner!!!!!!!!111" ads, and "hit the target to get free stuff" ads.

What I wonder is how those pop-ups that say your computer si being watched know what version of windows I'm running. Maybe we should all conspire to blow up the internet.

I have the solution:
Get a Mac.
tis quite easy to tell what's an advert and what's not, since none of the fakes are OS9 or OSX look-alikes :)
almost funny to see a PC window on my mac!

When I had linux running on one of my machine I found it amusing to. Most things look out of place on a mac. Just give me linux/windows-all the graphic enhancements and wothless features.

shit like that should be illegal........ they're blatantly LYING in ads like that
theres no way a pop up window could scan your hard drive and know youre "not optimized", or that you have "incriminating evidence" on your HD, or that you "have 2 messages waiting!" or whatever the hell they're pitching at you..... isn't that false advertising????
is the law the same on the net??
