Hi Ann,
I'm now running a scan using Spybot S&D to find out if there is a Targetnet or other spyware that was installed because of Flexbeta site. The last time I ran a Spybot scan, system is clean from spyware.
While reading the comments of posters on the review Spy vs Spy, I found a post that Spybot found spyware in Flexabeta site and the response was:
About the spyware on Flexbeta. LAst night I put up a banner from an advertisemnt firm I will not mention. I posted the html code of the banner, but no where did it say that it was going to generate popups. I was very frustated when I found out this morning and sent them an email. They replied by saying that by default, all banners come with popups. But this to me is ridicoluos because when you select the html code that generates the banner, you are giving three choices, a 720x90 banner, a 468 x 60 banner and popups. Now why would banners contain popups if there is an option for popups. I think this is very tricky from there part. I apologize for any harm this may have caused to your computer.
Maybe you can alert them too by posting a comment so they'll know that the spyware Targetnet was installed. Just a suggesting this because the above comment and response was posted last March 1, 2004.
