    Default Ads...-.- Annoying enough, are they truthful?

    Hmm..in about every ad or pop up you see, it says "hit the bullseye and you win a free XBox" or "Click here and you win a free iPod". We get these of many, but are they true? If you really clicked, you would get a free iPod? Anyone knows?

    Oviosly not, there a little like jamster, yes you get a free 15 p game for a £5, then every month wether they like it or not they will charge you more, for a membership you never wanted.
    With these adds they will probly install dilers calling exspenive numbers, fill your pc with ad and spy ware, and just chnage how many other people you have to give them to infect for you to get a bit of non exsitant merchandice.

    Plus chnaces are most the popups are genirted by adware / spyware thats on your pc already. MAke sure you scan with both spybot s&d and adaware

    If they were truthful they would not do the adverts. If people won most times then the company would be out of business. They want you to ring up a number at premium rates so they can cash in.

    So true, you must know by now "Nothing is for free"

    Nothing is true, except screensavers and stuff.
    But i recently scanned my PC and guess what?
    Screensavers from the net have a high chance
    of infecting your comp. with viruses and spyware.

    I went on a site once at school and it said 'You are todays lucky winner', and it told me to ring a number, costing £1.50 a minute, then my friend visited the same site, and she was also 'Todays lucky winner', so yeah they are definately truthful.
