KILL - Those infuriating X-10 pop-under ads

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News : One Thread

It's only good for 30 days, then presumably it has to be done again. Go here and scroll down a bit to find the link to shut the damn things off. Please, let's all do this; X-10 has to be keeping a count and when they see how many people are choosing to kill those ads, maybe they'll rethink their strategy. Feel free to cut and paste this post anywhere.

I did kill the ads for 30 days, but it appears they are trying to sell you software for $49.95 to permanently kill the ads.

If the buggers send me spam, I'll report them for net abuse, dammit. Occasionally, I get really irritated with spam and start reporting the offenders to their ISPs. To identify IP numbers, see WHOIS
