Hi llturbini,

Welcome to 5 Star and thanks for opening with a GREAT question. Sorry you have to deal technically with the Adware fallout and sorry I don't have an answer for you. I don't really get it either. If advertisers were looking at the big picture - not short term gain, they would never use Adware.

I was just posting this in another thread but REALLY think it bears repeating.

Market With Integrity!

Remember - if you use marketing techniques for short term gain that consumers don’t like, it comes back to bite your own earnings and hurts the entire online marketing industry. If you serve excessive pop for affiliate links, utilize parasitic applications, promote ActiveX or other download programs that are filled with Adware – then you are also helping to spread the use of anti-spyware apps, personal firewalls and ad blockers that are increasingly blocking affiliate links and deleting our cookies.

Let’s all work together to clean up the industry. Market with integrity and everyone wins!


Thanks for joining and I hope you stick around to participate with us.


Anyone have any answers for llturbini's question???
