I hate to do it, but I have no choice I guess. I am talking about the Bravenet Daily Cartoon. Actually I like it a lot. It adds fun to the website and may be able to get you back to visit again. But I just found out that since it's a free version, the cartoon comes with pop up ads. It's annoying but not so bad, I can take a few pop-ups. But, today, I am pretty upset to find out a pop up ad is actually some kind of virus and/or spyware. The pop up ad covers the entire screen and says: "Press Enter To Continue", but it won't go away after pressing the Enter key. And another pop up window asks for permission to install some shopping service program. At this point I decided I have had enough, so say good bye to the daily cartoon, even though I think it might not be Bravenet's fault. They should have screened their advertisers more carefully. It's fortunate that I have a virus protection software installed and was able to catch the nuisance.
Personally, I have a few pop-up ads set up on my website too, to be honest, but I can guarantee you that I won't install any annoying virus-like JavaScript and spyware. So you can feel 100% safe when visiting my website. Make sure you refresh your browser if you still see the Bravenet Daily Cartoon icons.
