Check out this pop-up I just got, man are they making these things look more and more confusing to the user or what?

yea thats a little weird.... havent gotten that one

haha dang sure looks like nice ol dos days to me ehh barf...

Hmmm... haven't gotten that one. Where'd it come up on?

*laughing* www.computerpopups.com

haha kidding..really though where?

..I just checkedf out the above site...gosh no one has reg. it yet!!

This isn't relative to this topic, but....................whats with all the sigs? Dont get me wrong, nice, very nice, is there a master sig maker making sigs for everyone? quig?

That's Meeeeeee.

Nice job quig!

Thank you, thank you. *takes bow*

haha yes thank you quiq... lol great job on everyone's

"We should promote him to "Master Signature Creator""

Yeah, right. Really loving all the "bountiful" pics.... really gives me something to look forward to going through the posts.

Actually, I would have to agree that the quality is very good, quig. But the scenery's gettin' a bit monotonous! Don't you have anything else ? (Something from a Chippendales calendar comes to mind)

Something like this might make a nice change.

oh god, I LOVED how it was, don't F with me lol

same here.. hehe.. lol

How about puppies? or bunnies?

or spongebob???? what about squidword!! can't forget him.. he would make a nice sig!! lol

You want a sig, all ya' gotta' do is ask. lol I'll put whatever you want on there.

...and Quig is good too! ...Quig, stop hogging and pass me some more of that popcorn!!!

Alright, back to topic. I got that popup while surfing some website cant remember was at school so cant check history. They are getting more and more creative in creating these pop-ups, it had me fooled for like 5 seconds, till i put the mouse over it and saw it was a link. What will be next, will we see pop ups of the logout window of XP?

Oh, so it wasn't a real command line dialog box? just a picture of one huh? pfhhf, boy they are going to great lengths to get people suckered in, and the sad part is that any average user who just surfs the net would be worried about that kind of thing and would probably click on it, getting suckered right in.

Yup.
I just introduced my dad to computers and the internet. He's hooked on ebay man, i tell ya. And he keeps calling me like every 10 minutes telling me something about critical security and stuff, he sees the popups and doesnt know what they are, he thinks they are the OS telling him there is something wrong. I keep telling him that those are ads, and he says, how am I supposed to know. And its true too. I especially hate the pop-ups that ressemble an actual Window, and they have the X on the upper right hand side, so you go to click the X thinking it would close the window, but actually it is part of the pop-up.

just like my parents... if the pop up seems like something related to them, like "YOU WON A FREE TRIP TO FLORIDA" they click on it.... im like ITS FAKE.. but they don't listen.. just have to find out for themselves

G, Can I have my mom call you instead of me! She still calls the "mouse" a "rat"

a rat!! wow.. lol, my mom calls it the 'clicker'

That's what I am concerned about also. I think of my mom who just barely knows enough about computers to log onto her email and do some basic browsing. She gets totally freaked by anything that says she might have a virus or a security risk. She's using a dial up at home and yesterday she said she got something to pop up about being behind a firewall! Why do these ads have to be so devious? Just make a good product and then advertise it fairly. If it's good, people will buy it.

i hate spam

rat... lol ahahaha glad i got 2 firewalls...no hope of any ad commin through.

i feel ya.. everybody does... except maybe little kids in ethiopia who like getting lots e-mails.. i dont know

someone stealin my ethopia joke? lol

no.. just emphazing it... lol

ahahah yeah my mom freakes when see sees any "Warning Virus email's" She also clicks all those X's in the corner of the ad, thinking it will close it...ehh ..
And there are people out there, buying these products just because the add mis informed or forced them into it...*wait...thinking* I could pull this off, the ad told me something, I did it, got hurt sue....$$$ yes yes yes I'll win..supream court oh yeahh I'll be rich

FAKE!!, But my Mom would fall for it!

yea thats someone trying to hack your account, lol...Ive seen it done with hotmail alot.

yeah...I use to hear of alot of that stuff on AOL netorks...

yea me too

here is another bad attempt to get people to click

man, I bet you tons of guys clicked on that pop up, and probably got bombaded with tons of porn.

Did someone say porn? Where? I'll click it!

Sick, I tell ya, You Sick!!

Alll the spammer and popup makers such be taken out into the desert, stake to the ground and everyone who got spam or popups take crap on them and leave them out there to die

Falcon, Just outta curiosity, how many mail men have you gone through?

They used to change them about three times a month but lately we had the same mail lady for sometime, Why do you ask Nvyseal4u

seems pretty convincing, i saw it my self, however the OK button in a DOS windows should be a give away for a savvy user
