:< One of the command strings doesn't work for me because I have mozilla. So I switch to IExplorer, but I kept getting this pop up, please download etc etc etc. Finally I was so annoyed by it I just clicked yes. Instantly my computer's efficentcy went down 43%. I closed my programs and the 6 different install wizards that had opened up. I scanned my system for spyware (which I had done earlier and turned up a 0) and boom 157 spyware programs detected. This is crazy you cant have a sites like this hosting the best part of wc3campaigns... I mean serriously whats the point of coming here for the 1 or 2 models/skins etc. said person needs if their computer is gonna fry because of it. Please do something. Thank you. Elfdude. |

You got adware that makes gehy popup ads come up randomly, its not WC3Sear's fault. Read, Consider, Realize: These are the steps to a better tommorow... and the destupification of the human race. |

You do this by clicking no and then quickly closeing the popup window its an anoying add but Not much you can truely do about best would be a popupblocker i guess. But its really not much work to Say no and quickly close the popup window. I think these popupsShould be illegal. |

Step 1: Never click pop ups Step 2: go to http://toolbar.google.com and get popup blocking toolbar. |

Step 3: Trash Internet Explorer. |

Step 4: Download Avast Anti-Virus. Eliminate that virus before it can even budge Step 5: After you are done trashing Internet Explorer, USE MOZILLA FIREFOX. Do remember to use the aformentioned Firefox program instead of Internet Explorer to download Avast Anti-virus |

Step 6 : Realize mozilla isn't that great, and then go to www.myie2.com |

Firefox isn't that great in terms of the interface. It's good that it's customizable, but it still doesn't have the friendliness of IE. Oh by the way, download Service Pack 2 and IE comes with a pop up blocker. Haven't gotten a single pop up ever since. And to deal with all the security issues, it's called disabling ActiveX. Takes 10 seconds to do and IE is just as safe as any independent browser. Haven't gotten struck by Spyware in over a year and I scan and update every month. |

For the small alternative to Darkys site, you can visit my thread http://www.wc3campaigns.com/showthread.php?t=58805 which has no geocities advertisement and has quality instead of quantity. |

Just thought I should point out that WC3Sear does have popups. And some of them are unsafe. As well as ads. This really shouldn't be happening, Warcraft III had a good advert-free download area before, and you'll notice that noone had these issues back then. If you're gonna make a site ad-free, do it properly! BTW, Mav's actually got a pretty good thing going. |
