04/10/2002 Entry: "10-April-2002 -- Web surfers brace for pop-up downloads"

Web surfers brace for pop-up downloads -- "For example, when visiting a site a person may receive a pop-up box that appears as a security warning with the message: "Do you accept this download?" If the consumer clicks "Yes," an application is automatically installed." (Comments: The next wave of "cool" advertising is here. Check out this commercial for Lee jeans. Some folks might consider it offensive. You've been warned.)

pop-up downloads are the devil spawn.

Yes, let the advertisers and their web site pimps squat over what's left of the charred remains of their credibility and release the bounty of their bowels. One final push to end this business model.

Hey, anybody like animals? The Four Horsemen approach.
