1. Why must they shove ActiveX smut down our throats?

2. Why the tie-in with the animal porn sites?

3. Why replace our homepage with online Casinos?


It's as if they want to out-do eachother at annoying ppl.

Or maybe there is hidden agenda behind it all.

Wild guess:
People want cracks + The crack-site people want money (and zombie computers for spamming and whatever) = They use cracks as baits to get it...

There is a simple answer to your problems.

Don't use an ActiveX enabled browser.

I have been using Mozilla with many browsing "security" tweaks for quite some time. My surfing experience both in the mainstream web and the less travelled paths has been much less interrupted.

Ditch the evil code from Redmond and you will be much happier.

or, use ie and disable activex and scripting. best of both worlds

(yes, i know every once in a while an exploit comes out which can affect ie even when things are disabled)

....or you can just not visit those types of sites to begin with. Then you won't have to worry about it.
