Attack of Annoying Adverts

1. The IQ test

Translation: How intelligent are you? How many triangles can you see in this picture? a:3, b:4, c:5, d:6

As we know, the correct answer is c, so most of us click this button immediately. Looking for prizes or just checking what to win? If you click it (why, if clicking answer A or C does the same event) a new window will appear. It leads you to a website asking for your cell number. Just scroll down a little bit to see, it’s a paid service, they will send you paid links, downloadable (WAP) content whenever they want. Usually 3-4 times a week. Who want to pay about $15 for this weekly? Another ad – the same concept:

Translation: Test your IQ! How many triangles can you count on the picture?

Yes, the correct answer is C again.

2. Congratz! You Won!

It’s very annoying if you won something and can’t claim it; or have to pay for. The new ads play voice too shouting something like “Grat, you won”. Is it’s end “..t claim the reward”? Because you can’t. Sending money to order something that you won is strange.

3. You are the X th visitor of this banner

Interesting. And am I the 999,999th visitor on different computers too? Every time I browse a page, I am the 999,999. Listen: “*see site for details” next to Hungarian text. Often If you click it you will arrive on 100% ad-filled sites with a lot of top banners, sidebars, buttons, and every kind of ads. I don’t have to say this is another scam.

4. You got an e-mail!

E-mail alert message on banner? Who believes this? The second advert is translated, but how… I know what they wanted to write, but this is on picture: “Having you a message – Open out nowadays the message”.

So this is another scam. But I don’t know how do they represent your e-mail.

5. Complete the Maze

Complete it or don’t complete it, you won opportunity to receive downloadable content to your cell for $20 weekly.

Tip: You can remove all of these by using hosts file or AdBlockPlus!
