I don't know if anyone else is fed up with looking at sites and as
you move
the mouse over the site suddenly another little window opens offering
all
sorts of non-relevant offers. Having got fed up with it annoying me I
found
out that if you go to the site http://text-enhance.com/ you can opt
out.

WARNING

I use a web rating plug in from Avast anti-virus, and the page comes up
with a bad rating, based on many users votes.

Not sure what the problem is, I many have a browse later on, but BEWARE!


I've got McAfee site adviser and nothing shows, I would not have posted
a link if I thought there was a problem with the site. Going to the
site, clicking on "Support" and you can op out of these new type
adverts, seems to work, has for me (after a hour or so) or I wouldn't
have mentioned it. The only problem is the op-out is a cookie so if you
delete all cookies you will effectively op in again.

McAfee SiteAdvisor is rubbish. I got an email from several of my
customers saying McAfee SiteAdvisor was flagging my website as
malicious. I was horrified and on further investigation and
correspondence with McAfee they acknowledged they had made a mistake and
changed my site rating to 'minimal risk'. No apology, no explanation why
they made the mistake. I have lost sales due to their incompetence. If I
had the money I'd sue the incompetent sods.
