Dear LetsSingIt Staff,

I know this probably isn't the proper place to post this, but I think someone needs to speak out.

Once, a while ago, I went to this website without any antivirus and firewall protection, and three lines into my lyrics, I found 26 brand new icons on my desktop.

I perfectly understand that advertisements need to be there, to sustain your business, but having self-installing advertisements and download popups appearing requesting you to agree to download a file called "... is just unexceptible.

It's purely disgusting and unsafe. Today I logged on again to this website to check something out, and once again I'm in a situation where I have no protection, and guess what, my computer froze and eventually restarted itself.

There is no disclaimer on your website, meaning you are most likely held responsible if illigal manners are used to put my computer at risk.

I'm sure that if you reduced your advertisements in half, as well as removing downloads requesting you to download unkown and bogus software, you'd still be well off, and your traffic would double.

I'll be back in a month to see if anything has changed here. If not, I'll start using my new lyrics page more frequently.

Yours truly,

Artificial.

ok then...very formal

Artificial | 13-09-2004 21:04

P.S.

After finishing my previous letter, and restarting internet explorer, I found 4 new search toolbars on my explorer, and a nice little program called ezula, which I had to go to safe mode to delete.

... disgusting.

I've never had this problem with lsi. But then again, I have a pop-up blocker. Maybe you should try one.

MSN Toolbar

Artificial | 13-09-2004 21:11

I shouldn't have to.

It's illigal to put programs onto my computer without direct permission from myself.

I also do not need an extra toolbar, I already have four to deal with.

Okay, I'm off.

ok she was only trying to help...

most people here have a pop up blocker, you shoould get one, and uh no ones had problems as big as yours before...

NightHobbit | 13-09-2004 21:13

Letssingit is fine, and with many web pages it ahs ad's now a pop up blocker is always nesasry when surfing the web, maybe you should try one.

Artificial | 13-09-2004 21:15

I've never had this kind of problem with any other website, never this serious, ever.

Relax guys, he's just letting us know. And I recall Ray saying something about spyware before, and how it's not supposed to be on the site. Popups are just nuisances, but spyware is awful.

Htd1 | 13-09-2004 21:23

you, my friend, need to relax

Artificial | 14-09-2004 20:06

Please don't ask me to relax.

This is serious, and I'm serious. I can't be on this website for more than five minutes and not have my computer filled with adware, spyware, and toolbars. And I can truthfully say, I didn't click "yes" on any of the download requests... I don't even know why they're there, it downloads itself anyways.

get a pop up blocker! i told you already..if you don't want to listen then uh..that's your own fault..

There is no disclaimer on your website, meaning you are most likely held responsible if illigal manners are used to put my computer at risk.

Then what is this?

buttercup89 | 14-09-2004 20:27

It looks like a disclaimer to me.

But what do I know, I'm only 15.

If the guy can't be asked to get the pop-up blocker then he can't be asked to click a link:
