Much as I agree with whats posted on this subject, I fuckin hate being lead to a site with spy-ware ie:



So readers if you dont want the world and his wife to know your
visiting habit,s DONT click on the link above or in the post.
It,s also pop up hell.

The bottom line is you will never know what sites have spyware & what don't.All you can do is download programs like ad-aware from or and run them everyday after you've finished surfing.

pop-ups, or spy-ware. and I,m a right twat :-)

Its programs designed to track your surfing on the net.You'll know you have spyware on your computer by an increase in emails from bizarre sex sites.

Spyware is usually attached too free pictures/programs you download.Even some paysites have the gall to use it.In simple terms Spyware is the replacement for pop-ups-in my view.

Nobody can see Spyware unless as you say they know of its existence which i doubt.

As for pop-ups,I've directed people to sites which have been pop-up hell on their computers but not on mine.The most recent being a Kerry Matthews link at

Seems to be if you have the right software protection/detection

Anti-virus-norton,
Anti-spyware-adaware
Anti-pop-up ?

"Spy Ware" They're the kind of snidy, cheap, tacky programs that 'Allan' subjects you PC to when you are invited to visit one of his 'quality' sites. Isn't that right Marcus?

This site is using ad - doubleclick which places a cookie with your name on it, and keeps a record of every visit you make to the site, and where you go after that, it also makes it hard for you to leave the site, ie:pop-ups etc, it,s a pain in the arse, and should be dicouraged, so dont visit the site FULL STOP
It,s a fuckin liberty, I think I,ll mirror the site and post it
somewhere else, makes my blood boil. fucka,s
