these sites that hijack your browser

[TheButcher]

I am sick and tired of these scammers who have code on their shitty sites that hijack and freeze my browser with a warning (fake) "your computer has been infected click here to fix it"

I am surprised my Avast doesn't catch it and stop it. It has happened to me 4 times in the past week. Webmasters should be ashamed of themselves for promoting whatever affiliate program or scam this is.

list them on your site under "Ugly" in your "Good Bad Ugly" section

I was going to do that but got to those sites from surfing one site to another to check things and lost the darn urls. Next time I will.

The dark side of the internet where scum dwell. If only they would get caught and arrested for these things.

Name them so we avoid them

Best thing and do not make the url clickable so no one accidentally clicks the link.

One more bad practice is sites which disable the "back button" so you keep looping on their site.

My goal is search traffic and repeat visitors to my sites. So making the surfer happy without popunders, floating ads and hard navigation is key for me. How can any person think of hurting the surfer who comes to their site with these bad ideas.It is a same there are nasty individuals out there.

You need to throw some punks in prison for a long time to scare off others from doing this shit.

Sick people will try any thing for a buck. They are sick all I have to say.

I come across this shit I report them to their host

[notty]

Reporting them to the host is a start

Most of them host with places that turn a blind eye to this kind of behaviour.
