Adding to Favourites

[The Professional]

Does anyone have the javascript to automatically add your site to someones favourties???

If so ... is this also a good idea??? What about a script that automatically makes your page their homepage as well???

Any help would be great....

Thanks

[Lanie]

I hate those things! I feel for the poor surfer who hits that http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/frown.gif

don't do that shit

[Tam]

Well I can tell you this much.... I run my own little tgp and SOMEONE is sending me galleries that is doing this to mine and my hubby's pcs, and when I find out exactly who is doing it they will either be stopping this or finding another tgp........ not that mine is any big deal. But my kids use my hubby's pc and I do NOT like to have to clean out his bookmarks before letting my kids on the pc.

I wouldn't advise using this method, it's really pissing some people off.

Somehow, I have that happening to me too. I think it is totally overstepping. I like to set my own home page, and add MY OWN bookmarks. This will not make the surfer re-visit, it may make them never return.
I spent alot of time going through my bookmarks tonight and was pissed by the number of pure CRAP that I had to delete.

[Tam]

It would be different if they had them put them in a damn folder or something but they just pop right there in the wide open places where kids can get them......... I didn't even realize it until my hubby was helping me review one night and wanted to know had I been on his pc because he had sites on there he didn't recognize.. and I looked and I had them too.... so I know it came from a gallery somewhere just not sure from who they came from yet........ but I am a Rude Bitch, so someone will get an ear full when I find it.

I like controling what I bookmark and where I start too... I am a big girl, but my kids are not. lol

[Lanie]

Tam, this is too funny, same scenario here tonight, but it was me going through them...LOL I asked my husband, "what the heck is all this" Then I figured out what was going on. Cant you just see the poor surfer who just got his pc and the home page is set and bookmarks growing by the minute! geeeeeeeees, and yes, it burns my ass that these webmasters are not taking the CHILDREN in consideration. We are in this for ADULT amusement. Ok i will get off my soap box now.....LOL

I could be wrong, but i do not think you can automatically set the homepage/bookmarks - you need to have that popup come up and you need to click "ok".

Unless you have downloaded a file that is doing this... i know its possible (and is being used in one of those browser downloads) to set the homepage/favourites if the exe is run on the machine. It can be coded in such a way that every time you reboot, it sets itself as the homepage etc.

Perhaps you have downloaded such a file?

Yeah, thats right, you have to download a file for this to happen. But the thing is, the file is autodownloaded somehow. Some mofo found an activex security hole and he makes you download that .hta file without you knowing it.
i heard about that guy who made this script. I heard he is selling it for $8000. bastard...

thanks guys... I thought it over... an your right... I don't think it's a good idea... especially cause kids could get to it and stuff....

[shane94]

yeah I keep having the same problem! It is mostly teen sex sites?? Same on you guys?

I don't have visitors that have kids. Can someone show me the code that automaticly add a bookmark, set as default mainpage and put a link on their desktop without any kind of prompt where they have to say yes? http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/tongue.gif
Thanks

[richard]

Morten "no morals" Due http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Cool stuff (!) about using an activex security hole into his porn pages, gotta give the guy some credit for originality.

off to do some .hta research http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

[magnatique]

richard, he's got morals... he told you he had no kids visitors, that it was an all-adult site http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Yes that is true http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
Guess Rich just don't undertand that http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/tongue.gif
Anyway it is PROVED that I don't have any visitors with kids since someone that is too stupid to bookmark my great site can't impossible have any kids.
Most kids is way smarter that adults with computers so they would know how to bookmark and since I don't get any bookmarkers it can only be adults without children visiting my site http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Rod]

Nice deduction Due http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[RongVang]

Richard...........it's possible to have your web site added to some visitor's bookmark....or to have i setup as a homepage without visitor's permission, knowledge.

I think ActiveX or some advance Java technology allows you to do some stuff like that.

I noticed that some small commercial portal(nonadult) use this easy, unfair method to promote their sites.

Anyway........I wouldn't recommend these tricks to any webmaster.
In my opinion this is and illegal thing to do!

[Tam]

yup.. it's all teen sites here that shows up on mine too...... and I had hell getting that damn start page off my pc and my hubby's......... everytime we rebooted it would be right back there..... Don't ask me how it finally went away, I couldn't tell you, I just messed with settings until it stopped. LOL

Tam

[neocorp]

Auto bookmark or auto homepage making is possible only if the surfer set his browser security to the lowest level.

[Exxxotica]

Auto bookmarking sucks! If you really think you gain from it...you are a fucking moron.

I had this problem happen to me about a month ago and its a slick program luckly i figured out how to kill the process. Every time i booted it reset the homepage info using a .bat file that called a couple proc and looked like this

@echo off
dir /s c:\ &gt;c:\null.ttt
c:command.com /c del "c:\windows\start menu\programs\startup\runme.hta"
c:command.com /c del c:\null.ttt
c:command.com /c del c:\windows\system\load.reg
exit

This sucker ran right past my scanners and its real easy to do this but im not tellin anyone where to find or giving out the other needed pieces to finish the puzzle. Im just glad there was no harmful code in it anywhere to make it distro via email or some other method. All i will say is check your windows startup menu for that runme.hta if you see it you can delete it first then delete the load.bat in c:\ then kill the c:\windows\system\load.reg
and last null.ttt which is just a temp file which it normally will delete on its own.

Also another thing browser settings wont do jack it uses a registry setting which does not even go thru the browsers security function.
The only thing the browser will protect is things like Java and ActiveX best thing is to keep backups on like a zip drive or such.

These types of files are shipped with other freeware crap most times and then you wounder why its freeware http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/tongue.gif

[The Professional]

this shit is pretty fuckin' hardcore.... I hardly knew when I posted the topic that it would be such a hot issue...

I guess it's more of a problem then something that people would want to do. I was basically just looking for a way to get more non cj traffic to a site. maybe a new topic is in order.... http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Doctor Dre]

mmmmmmm if its using .bat files and the user don't know he is installed it, that should be considered like a virus . That mean that somebody who use that could get sued . But thats impossible ... because there would be to much virus on the net ... lol
we can't caugh virus by visiting a site . (well except vb script crash)
but if we can send .bat, that mean we can send virus http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/frown.gif((((
well I dunno ... does it sound right ?

[Crysty]

Back in time when dos 3 was the highest os released by ms, mcaffee specialits have proven the existence of a virus completely written with os components
If I remember well, it was a combination of dir+type+debug commands

that site was sureseeker.com ... took me a while to figure out what was going on. i email the whois contact and he told me how to remove the file from my start up. i also emailed goto.com (he was selling his traffic to them) but they didnd't do anything at the time.
