I went to a users webpage there to look at his car, and I get a million popups...ok, no biggie, I've dealt with that before. *BUT*, when I go to hit my "home" button in IE to get back to the forums, it takes me to xupiter :|:|:| Grr, ok, I can fix that... but what's this? A new toolbar??? That's right! Xupiter installed a thoroughly annoying toolbar in IE just under my addy bar

:|:|:|

fuvk you xupiter

I hate what web browsing has become :(


(blah, enough whining) :)

yeah its a pain in the ass... i dont see how IE will let sites do this amount of stuff to your system without at least giving you a warning of what its doing.

I'd much rather find out who runs these sites, find their address and meet them at their front door with a brick in hand :|


ok not seriously, but damn those sites make me wonder wtf is going through their minds...

I DO I DO I DO! I HATED THAT grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. That really pissed me off. I was so mad I went to the command prompt and ripped out all the files it left after I uninstalled it. It changes homepage, tool bar, and even ERROR message in IE. They need to be taken off the net:| :|

I cannot believe they could install and change so much, and I had not ONE inkling about it.
