how did the pop under window come in your site? contact your host.

anothr two breathless tantalising emails this morning

if I were looking for a host .. they would be the absolute bloody last place I'd go !

if this is advertising, it's not working on me

We host Susanna's site and there's nothing wrong with her site I think. Perhaps she was getting pop-unders from visiting someone else's site?

Yeah it's prob spyware run ad-aware and I bet something pops up.. If your running Kazaa or Winmx or anything like that "free" that def you problem.

I visited a site that had a pop-under for pow and obviously got cookied or something ! Now I'm getting emails from pow
