Evil Popups

August 9th, 2007 | Joel | Uncategorized

I ran into the hackademix.net blog a few days ago, and the author is reporting of a new type of Java script pop-up that can cause many users headaches, he calls it, "Pure Java, Pure Evil Popups." These pure Java script pop-ups can cover up the whole screen and also can't be closed without terminating your browser. The author recommends totaling disabling your web browser's Java script and only enabling them on trusted sites.

Visit the article for additional information and also neat examples of the pop-ups in action.
