whats the best pop up blocker?
Folks:
Let's all cool down a little bit, shall we? There's no crime in suggesting a program inwhich you have a vested interest, so long as you state that fact clearly. Others who have vested interests in software have posted here, and by and large they always mention this fact so the reader can take it into consideration. Newspapers and magazines often review or comment on products or services inwhich they or their parent company have an interest, and they disclose this fact in their reviews. It's not spam unless a poster blankets large numbers of newsgroups with advertising. We often discuss our opinions about individual programs here, for and against. I'll go so far as to say that I use Super AdBlocker and find it very effective, and I've had good experiences with their technical support. There. Kick me. -- Ted Zieglar "You can do it if you try." "Nick Skrepetos (SuperAdBlocker.com)" wrote in message ... Leythos, Thank you for your opinion. I will keep posting here and helping users. -Nick "Leythos" wrote in message m... In article , says... Users are asking questions here, and I am providing an answer. It so happens the answer is a product I have created to solve these users exact problems - user want a solution - not to download 50 free products only to have nothing work and their computer be filled with software that did not solve their problem. You are NOT providing answers you are providing a LINK to a program that you have a vested interest in - that makes you a spammer. If you didn't have a vested interest in the product it would not be spam. I have personally helped dozens of users solve their problems for FREE. Which has nothing to do with your spamming the group. I have given away hundreds of copies of my software to users I have assisted from these very groups. I will continue to post in this group as I am an educated and qualified technical person who can actually assist users and help the group. Your "give away" or education level has nothing to do with the fact that you are spamming the group wiht a advert for a product that you have a vested interest in. As it stands, your product is not the only product that makes the claims you do, but your product is the only one being hawked here by a person with a vested interest in it - and is commercially available. It is interesting that only you and maybe one other person complain about ANY of my posts - if it was blatent advertisement for a product that did not work or help anyone I am sure I, and the group, would hear about it. You site two different things - If it was an ad and the second is if it didn't work - the two have nothing to do with each other. If you post a link to a commercial product, to every post that might benefit from it, and you have a vested interest in it, then you're a spammer. If I were to post a link to your product, even by itself, it would not be spamming as I have no vested interest in your product - that's the difference between a spammer and a helper. -- remove 999 in order to email me |

Leythos,
Thank you for opinion (again). -Nick "Leythos" wrote in message ... In article , says... Mike, I have a right to educate users the same way you do. Do you think for a minute the people giving away "Free" software like Spybot and Adware have no financial interest in their products? Those are allowed to be promoted all over the group even when they don't solve the problem. Their authors make money from their products the same way I do. If my product was free, you would have no problem - but it bothers people that people make money from software. What you fail to see is the difference in who is posting it - the makers of AdAware and SBS&D are not posting their product ad's in response to every query, it's the people that have found benefit in using their products that are posting links to them. I was making money on code before you were born (just a guess), and certainly have no issues with you or anyone making money off their hard work. I do have issues with people posting ads for products here when they are the software vendor - that's called SPAM in every sense of the word. Those authors post in the newsgroups the same as I do - the only difference being that I use my real name and company instead of creating fake user names and posting. Prove it - I know several of the people that support/develop SBS&D and AdAware, via emails, and I've not see where they post about their products with blatant adverts like you do. While your product MAY work, you are a company/vested interest in it, quite biased, not posting links to anything else in the same class/area, and that makes you a spammer - simple to understand. Just look at the facts - Define spam and you will see that your posts fit. -- remove 999 in order to email me |

Mike,
You know nothing about me, or my "integrity and decency". I have not tried to "scare" users. They are free to use my product, remove the spyware/adware that the other products often miss, and then remove it. It costs the users nothing and their problem is solved. -Nick "Mike Hall (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ... Nick As already pointed out to you, the other authors are not peddling their wares here..

I don't know of anybody in these newsgroups who advocates, suggests, or coerces computer users into loading 50 programs, all of which will be useless.. you do not know anybody who does that either.. many users have successfully downloaded and run a few free programs from the internet without any problem and without recourse to your offering..

Leythos,
I did not say "other products are worthless". Do not put words in my mouth/text. I have been a big supporter of free software for years, and in fact have over 20 million copies of free software I created in the market. I have never put down another authors work. Every day I see poor users suffering and trying to get rid of spyware/adware. Sometimes our product will find things other products miss - sometimes the other products find things we miss. The user has the right to try each solution to see what will solve their problem. Users can use our software for free and uninstall. My motivations are not of "financial gain" - I enjoy helping users. Nick Skrepetos SuperAdBlocker.com | SUPERAntiSpyware http://www.superadblocker.com "Leythos" wrote in message m... In article , says... Leythos, Thank you for your opinion. No problem, I'll keep giving it. I will keep posting here and helping users. I didn't ask you to stop, it was not meant that way - and you know it. I asked that you stop spamming the group and now I'm also asking that you stop making false claims about other vendors products - unless you can prove them. Any vendor that gets such a big head as to buck the system, to claim that all other products are worthless, well, I won't be recommending your product to anyone based on your spamming and claims that none of the others work - it's an ethics thing now. -- remove 999 in order to email me |

Leythos,
Let's be clear about things - I have always stated our product is an OPTION to help the users, not the ONLY solution, and I don't say no other products work. Sometimes our works better, sometimes another vendor's product does. I don't hide the fact that I am the vendor and have a vested interest - I am clear about the fact in each post that the product is a free trial for 15-days and can be used, and then uninstalled if the user does not wish to purchase. This is getting out of hand - and therefor this is the end of this thread for me. -Nick "Leythos" wrote in message ... In article , says... It's not spam unless a poster blankets large numbers of newsgroups with advertising. Yes it is - number of groups means nothing - count number of replies without any other content. We often discuss our opinions about individual programs here, for and against. I'll go so far as to say that I use Super AdBlocker and find it very effective, and I've had good experiences with their technical support. There. Kick me. No need to kick you - if you like it, good, I never suggested anything about the product, never suggested it didn't work. The issue is that a Vendor comes here and posts to use their product to every post that could warrant it's use, no other vendors products are mentioned (except to claim that none of them work) - that's spam. -- remove 999 in order to email me |

There have been more than a few others spam this and other newsgroups, and I can't honestly say that I have noticed anybody state that 'oh, and btw, if you subscribe to my product, I get all of the money".. It is also not ethical, albeit a practise rife in North America, to deliberately suggest or name other products as being inferior to one's own where there is an obvious vested interest in purveying one's own product for financial reward.. I don't know much of your experience, but I would suggest that you know as much as anybody that the well known 'freebie' spyware programs actually do a very good job.. What is happening here is essentially no more morally right than the popup claiming that your system is full of spyware, and that the only way to be rid of it is to pay $30 to some unknown quantity.. sorry, but I don't subscribe to tactics of that kind.. -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User "Ted Zieglar" wrote in message ...
