Pop ups at their most obnoxious
I don't know about you but I vote for a pop up 'Search the Web' created by C2 Media.
Full address:
C2 Media Ltd.
Unit 12, 571 Finchley Road
Hampstead, London, NW3 7BN
United Kingdom
Not only do they put an unwanted tool bar at the bottom of your screen, it actu-ally takes over and makes itself your home page. To me, taking over your home page selection is an invasion of privacy. Anyone know if this is legal or not?
Also, as far as I can tell some major vendors here in the States actually use this service.
I'm not 100% sure, but it appears as if the links provided on their so-called "news page' are created in cooperation with the linked companies. The first four companies on the site as of May 12th are IBM, the Chemistry Council, the Boston Globe and MSN.
