There is a popup that tells people that the owners of this website advocate downloading a scanner to get rid of spyware. Is this really what the owners advocate?

Get a screen shot the next time you see it and post it.
Then the Mark and Dan can do something about it. They have been very good about getting rid of that kind of thing once they know about it, and have enough information to act.Keep on Civin'

Ads get worse and worse and worse.
A couple of weeks ago (not from Apolyton) I got one that emulated the message you got when you got Blaster. I didn't even bother to find out what it was trying to push on me, but advertisers really should be ashamed of themselves.
(Wait...Ming is an advertising executive right? In that case, I mean, uh, advertising is the backbone of our economy and keeps many products free of charge to consumers
)

Yes... some should be ashamed. I have problems with sleezy ads as well. They give the industry a bad name

I, too, have gotten the pop-up ad that passes itself off as an "official" announcement from 'Poly's owners. I've since switched back to the "light" form of 'Poly ... I've got ads on the top and bottom of the screen, but no pop-ups, and tha'ts fine by me.

The spate of ad problems continue. Is it just a coincidence, or has something changed with the supplier?Comment

Nah...Mark just got greedy
But seriously, I think something is going on, that we have not been informed about. Previously, it was such, that with ultra special style, you got two pop-ups every 12 hours. Now every visit to Apolyton is a pop-up fest.
Whether this is intentional by the site owners (i.e. Mark and Dan) or a change in business stretegy by our ad providers, remains to be seen. Personally, I suspect the latter.

First of all, I use ZoneAlarm Pro. Thing is, the way that I understand it, if you use ZoneAlarm pro to block pop-ups and cookies, you prevent the owners of Apolyton from making any money when you browse their site. I happan to like Apolyton, so I have instructed ZoneAlarm pro to allow cookies and pop-ups from Apolyton.
But the amount of pop-ups recently has made me reflect on my position.
