I would doubt it and in order to get what I was after I pushed the go button
without reading..which would have told me what was coming..I won't use that
site again. it's not worth the hassle of all the junk I had to remove. Some
of it was cute but not what I wanted on my computer..it was adware.
I would want to be told something was not good with the site and be able to
choose. That SHOULD happen. You have to have choices.

If you give the site permission I do not think Trend Micro or anything else
can stop this. Nor, do I want ANY program stopping me from being ABLE to
download and ALLOW pop ups or anything else if I WANT them! That is called
censorship!
I know you said that Trend Micro WARNS you, it does not prevent you from
doing it and that is NOT censorship! It is good advice! Some folks ignore
the warnings unfortunately.
I HATE that these dang terms of use (TOU) on websites, the things you have
to agree to in order to get something (especially when you PAY for it) bury
the info that you will be infested with them forever. (Until you find out
what is wrong and then block them.)
I get a notice from windows/Norton on sites that want to pop something else
and ask if I want to do it. The MOST I will do, IF I am curious AND it is a
site I go to regularly, like my bank or something is to allow it
temporarily. I NEVER give permission to allow a site to download anything
unless I ordered it and I have read the TOU. But, no one is impervious to
unscrupulous webmasters who get happy making you miserable!
I also pay attention to the trusted sites and other warnings!
I think Mom taught us to "THINK BEFORE WE SPEAK!"
Today Mom's need to also teach us to "THINK BEFORE WE PUSH!"
(those buttons on the keyboard!)

ML,
Apparently when I hit a site like that, my Trend Micro
immediately pops up and tells me it is a dangerous site. I
close out immediately and never have the stuff you've had happen
to you. Norton never did that nor McAfee so I am a die hard
Trend Micro fan.
It's worth the money to have my computer with spam filtered in
my email and no downloads of crap. I would not like to spend
the time you did to put my computer back to pristine condition.

I found out what it was...a download from a site I went to. I
didn't read the info to begin with--when you use the site you give
permission of all kinds of stuff to be downloaded.. Websearcjh and
toolbars. I got
rid of it with various scans..I HATE that kind of site. I won't use it
again. SPT!.
