Spam on recent PFC DB entries ?

#1 Post by __philippe »

(Moderator please move this to appropriate forum, as the case may be, thanks)

Since 29/07/2013 10:23:53 (local time), I noticed several clickable underlined terms in some DB entries descriptions which are all popping a small ad-laced window
touting products from "Kontera EMC squared".

Cases in point (suspect pointer between [...])

ProcessKO [tool]
LibreOfficePortable [devices]
DesktopsnowOK [Desktop]
...

Anyone else noticing this ?

Possible help in exterminating this calamitous Kontera-ad infestation ?...:-(

I have seen Kontera ads for a long time. I'm sure they are intentional.

Right, better forget what I wrote, then; didn't really mean to step on toes... :(
(Perhaps this inopportune topic would better be closed ?)

But before closing the topic, (glad someone asked), I thought those sneaky Kontera ads were singularly irrelevant to the terms they are supposed to illustrate:

For the life of me, I cannot fathom much obvious relationship between "tool | device | desktop" and EMC²-sponsored ads for a "next-generation backup utility"...
And this minor brouhaha might be rather moot, anyway, since those ephemeral ads pointers appear to come and go at random, seemingly brushed away by the fleeting winds of our discontent...;-)

Much ado about nothing.
