Yahoo! Video — Mania_t_v **A Warning** | E-Life http://blackbirdesolutions.com/elife/2007/03/14/yahoo-video-mania_t_v-a-warning/#comment-3 Fri, 16 Mar 2007 21:29:57 +0000 http://blackbirdesolutions.com/elife/2007/03/14/yahoo-video-mania_t_v-a-warning/#comment-3 The reason why ManiaTV pops up is not because it is malicious...they are doing media buys on a network called the AdOn Network which is a network of adware/spyware distributors who offer targeted advertising based on key word and website searches like Yahoo! Video. You got yourself a pop up because deep in your system you have remnant spyware /adware applications and haven't done your cleaning with Ad Aware. In any case the advertiser (maniatv) is negligent because they probably didn't know that this is how AdOn works along with many other advertisers who just want to get in front of people. In short stay away from Porn and Downloadable ActiveX stuff that is out there. ManiaTV still has great content apart from all this...
