Default Isn't This Devious Spam Advertising?

Hi everyone

Has anyone heard of whenu.com?

I went to one of my web sites today and I was confronted with a pop up ad!

I had no knowledge of it and had not consented to it.

I sent them a rather firm, but polite email demanding that they remove it immediately. It was removed pretty sharp!

I went back to my web site 20 minutes later and it had gone!

The ad was targeting my web site traffic offering similar products from comapnies who I assume has advertised with them.

I visited another web site today and I was confronted yet again with the same compnay advert but of course targetting their customers with like products. I sent them an email informing them, as I am sure they too were unaware of the ad.

I would also assume they must be targetting thousands of other web sites without the knowledge and consent of web site owners.

How can they do this...they are stealing our web site traffic that we work hard to get!

Just though you'd appreciate knowing about it.

Regards,
Susan.
