Gator download pop-up

[spartak]

Are some of the adds not region specific? I haven't had a gator ad from here and it might help if we could identify the region that those who have had the add originate from. If its all we know its a general ad. That would at least reduce the size of the haystack that needs to be combed through.

I'm getting it in Germany with monotonus reguralrity.

I got it here in Denmark. But the last 4 days, I haven't seen it. My Apolyton habits haven't changed, though. So it's pretty strange that it has stopped, as everyone else is still getting it.

That is a personal problem.

Why not back up your statement with arguments instead of insults? Try it, it might make a nice change.

Dan, just stop buying ads from whoever your provider is. It is not up to you to trace it down. It is up to UGO or whoever.

[Lefty Scaevola]

UGO has been very responsive to a crtain other site in tracking down the third party providers who do this and deep sixing them. I am not certain what technical info from the site was required, but whatever it was, they got it.

looks like Lefty is backing me up. Dan pullus headus out of assus.

Dan,

just get donations and premium memberships available, and we can get rid of ads in no time.

hi ,

still not seeing it , with MS or acticve X , ........ thanks to some free web tools , ......

TCO , agreed , its time

have a great day

[Frozzy]

I think many testers and a conclusion that Gator is an ActiveX applett would marginally be more reputable than your "test", panag.

Quite frankly, I pity those who a) use MSIE b) don't have a pop-up blocker c) willfully let pop-ups appear.

[Lefty Scaevola]

Even after catching one of the third party providers, you go through the same thing with another one periodically. The way to keep them off is to limit the Ad company to ads runs on their server, without third party providers.

[TCO]

Just hold them responsible Dan. Grow some cojones. Start looking for another service. Or start susbscription. Be a credible threat to leave.

[Frozzy]

Trouble is... Apolyton has signed onto umpteen services

[Asmodean]

Which is why we need a subscription model ASAP.

@Frozzy: I wilfully let pop-ups appear. But I only do it to help locate the Gator culprit.

Oh and panag: Gator is installed via an ActiveX applet

have a nice day
