    It's been awhile... Congratulations to Bret!

    Yup, he went to download something, Internet Explorer stopped the download and rather than READ the big yellow line up top OR the part where it says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT" which we made into a FLASHING graphic so you CAN'T miss it he proceeds to skip past all of that, slide his mouse PAST the word -= Advertisement = - and click where it says "Recommended Download" on a Spyware Doctor advertisement, even though he was not after Spyware Doctor.

    I can't imagine why people still get infected these days....

    Man, if this guy complained to you about this website, imagine what he sends to sites that actually have BS downloads :-D

    Another user who has absolutely no personal responsibility for what he does. He doesn't feel any need to read or pay attention to what he's clicking. The SITE should be arranged so people like him, who can't read one line of text, can't mess themselves up. I think I've done that click on the wrong part thing, but I only complained about myself and apologized for the oh CR*P! I let fly in the completely silent accounting room. LOL

    They don't have time to read one line, they do have time to email and complain.

    He wasn't 'infected'. He was born that way.

    Yep, it's always easier for some to blame anything but their own actions and carelessness.
    Won't say that I've never accidentally clicked on a wrong button before, but to e-mail a site, complaining that it's some kind of deception or entrapment - Come on!rolleyes
