I never follow a link unless someone has been their first. Too many sickos
out there.

A little digging reveals that the domain is registered to a domain
name squatter named LaPorte Holdings... and they've been sued quite a
few times over domain names. One of their games is that they will
register slight misspellings of branded websites in order to get some
accidental traffic to a search portal. Hopefully some of that
accidental traffic accidently clicks on some links on that portal and
accidently makes our boy a few pennies. I suppose if you do that
enough those pennies can turn into dollars.
The only thing is, when people ask what you do for a living, do you
have to tell them that you run a scam on the internet and hope you
don't get sued too much? I suppose it's all relative though. If he
makes 25K per year he's a scam artist that gets sued a lot. If he
makes $100K per year he's an entrepeneur that faces legal challenges.

If you're talking about a chain of popups, I use a browser called
Maxthon (www.maxthon.com). It's a fantastic multi-tabbed browser
that uses Explorer as it's base. It has a very effective popup
blocker.

Here I thought it was just me. Looks like targeted to the WW group, but
the only thing you get from any of the links are the ads from a search for
things like "venician woodworker".
As sleazy goes, that's pretty much at the bottom of the slime pit.

No hiccoughs from Mozilla either.
