While searching for translations of Slovenian swear words, a page managed to install about forty billion spyware applications all at once without asking. I am now dealing with about 10 popups a minute, many of which feature marijuana as a main theme. Ad-Aware doesn't find anything, SpyBot only got rid of BargainBuddy.

Fuck you, ActiveX.

Fuck you, internet.

Edit:

Fuck you, Bullseye SurfSidekick.

Fuck you, OuterInfo.

Fuck you, Command Advertising Network.

Fuck you, NaviSearch.

Fuck you, MediaAccess.

Fuck you, the others I haven't identified yet.

Browser hijacking pisses me off, and it should be a crime punishable by imprisonment at least.

Were it my decision, I wouldn't be; however, that's my work computer, where I do not have admin privs.

At home, I run firefox.
