I don't like their website - they're very insistent.

Since they wouldn't let me ignore their 'sign-up for a free
something-or-other, I killed it.

I got a popup and simply clicked on the red "X" to close it. No problem
to look at the rest of the website.


I didn't have any problems with the site nor did I get any popups. But
then I use the Firefox web browser with Adblock and NoScript - they get
rid of all the crap on websites nowadays and make them load faster too.
I tried using Microsoft's Internet Explorer the other day for curiosity
- first time for years and was amazed how many adverts and other crap
are on sites now. I'd only been using it for ten minutes or so when I
got a security alert about something trying to hijack the browser! So
quickly back to Firefox again.

I also have Adblock plus running, and am happy with it. I disabled
NoScript as I got fed up continually having to allow things. In
general, I have no idea whether something should be allowed to run or
not. Just looking at the NoScript webpages, there are 350 lines on the
features page and well over 1000 on the faq page. Too much information,
maybe?

Maybe I'll try again in future and persevere with it.
