I get to looking for song lyrics periodically, and a lot of that goes on there.
They generate a window that has no content but spawns ads and downloads – gator for one, other scumware too, and popups after popups.
I still go after the lyrics but keep an eye peeled on the number of open windows my taskbar shows – as soon as a new one opens I rightclick on it and hit close. I manage to get through it that way, but always scan for scum afterwards and find gator eggs a lot.
I also think this is how I got that seven search installed that I just cannot get rid of. My spyware program recognizes it but deleting it is futile. It hijacks the search off my IE adress bar and annoys me to no end. Still have the thing! :angry:
