Chat-Avenue
Installs Spyware, Viruses Via Their Pop-Ups And They Rip You Off Through Their Advertising Chat-Avenue installed Spy-Ware on my computer through their thousands of Pop-Up Advertisements they also rip you off VIA their Advertising Ripoff Columbia Internet

The sleezy owner sitting on his computer as his thousands of chatters are swamped with Pop-Ups containing harmful viruses and Spy-Ware.

Chat-Avenue have hundreds of Pop-Up Advertisements and some of these automatically install Spy-Ware onto your Computer and even Viruses.

This is TRUE since my and many other peoples Computers have encountered the same Virus and Spy-Ware from the same time.

The Spy-Ware will track what you look for mostly and then once every 10 minutes a Pop-Up will automatically come up onto your screen, it is REALLY annoying!

The evil man himself... The guy in charge of the Chat-Avenue advertising. You can see in his face how he simply loves ripping people off on his 500.00 PER month Advertising.

Suffering from being ripped off... An honest and innocent guy has to suffer the loss of $500.00 he paid Chat-Avenue to put his banner on their home page for a month, pity it was only there for 7 days.

The Viruses are the worst, they simply sit on your Computer and basically record everything you have written.

So MANY people have written to the Admin of the site on the Forums and VIA e-mail and this is what he says: "Sorry for the trouble but we'll try and see what we can do". Well good on ya! Pitty it has been 2 or 3 months now and NOTHING, yep NOTHING has been done!

Also... Many people have paid for advertising there, it costs 500 per month! Firstly it is a RIP OFF and secondly if you purchase it the owner will put your link on there for around 7 days max. Your banner will stay there but the link will go straight back to his site Chat-Avenue.

If you send him an e-mail he will say something like I'll give you another month or I'll try and fix it, NOTHING HAPPENS!

I strongly recommend you STAY away from Chat-Avenue and go to another chat site because doing this will take away their hits so they can't charge for advertising, have Pop-Ups and then they CAN NOT rip you off.

So I and HEAPS of other people who asked me to write this are saying:

"stay away from chat-avenue, they are nothing but thiefs! They let pop-ups flood your computer and even worse they don't care if a virus is installed from the pop-ups"

PS: Tell your friends about this HORRIBLE/SLEEZY site!

Thankyou:-)
