I hate the x-cam

what's the deal with this?

[Weblamer]

Can anyone clue me in on the deal with the x-cam pop-up ad? This has to be the single most aggressive pop-up ad campaign i ever seen. They seem to pop up randomly to me.

Who did x-cam make a deal with for these popup ads? and what, specifically, triggers them?

Heh, once again i should search instead of shout.

one of the links i came across is this;

[x10.com...]

claims to stop the popup for 30 days. Anyonw know if its legit?

[jatar_k]

I think I tested that long ago and it didn't work but you could just get yourself opera or mozilla and you could never see them again.

I use moz and am starting to forget what popups look like ;)

It supposedly worked at first, but then some of us here and elsewhere started developing cookies that were good for 10 years.

Yes, I remember seeing a link somewhere that set the cookie for many years into the future. Don't remember where, though.

If you dont want to see any pop ups/under anymore, feel free to use Opera. ;)

I bought one :)

[Knowles]

Its all Elitewebs fault! One was purchased so they figure someone else will by another!

Really lovin Moz none of them pop up thingy mabobs! I always detested this one though it was everywhere!

I also use Opera when I want to avoid pop-ups. It works great. I can't remember using it and having a pop-up sneak past it.
