Forum feedback forum: Survey pop up

*voicefive.com

I hate VoiceFive.com. What a POS!!!! These surveys are driving me crazy and slowing down my computer every time the new window opens. I believe (at least in my case) that it is an AOL related issue. I think AOL hired voicefive to do these surveys because the survey window seems to pop up every time I am replying to an email in AOL. Here's what I have uncovered so far about this problem.

First, it seems to be immune to the AOL pop-up block setting. It also doesn't come up as malware so it isn't found by McAfee or Adaware when I do a scan. I emailed voicefive twice (privacy@voicefive.com) and have gotten no reply (big surprise). I have also emailed the threat lab at McAfee (you can do the same from their website). No response, naturally. I also performed the following and it seems to make the pop-ups come up less frequently but they are not totally gone:

Go to the privacy page on the voicefive website here...

http://voicefive.com/Privacy.aspx

...then scroll down about halfway down that page to the paragraph titled:

"Are cookies used by your website or your application?"

In that paragraph you'll see a hyperlink that says "click here." Click on that link and it instantly puts a cookie on your computer indicating that you've opted out of their lame surveys. Beware though, if and when you clean out your cookies, you'll have to do this again to put the opt-out cookie back on your hard drive.

Hope this helps. If anyone figures out a difinitive solution, please post. Thank you!

not sure how this started but i am most always on aol, this voicefive pop up has me so annoyed over the last week, i have tried everything i know to get rid of it but tonight, i came here to catch up on e-mail but this pop-up has come on so many times that i didn't get anything done except try to figure out how to get rid of it. i have tried clicking on the privacy statement to opt out, doesn't work. i have submitted 6 times, requesting them to stop and the they sent me links that my computer would not open and then tried to explain to me how to block pop-ups and then said they would UNsubcribe me to something i never subsribed to but it may take up to 10 days and today, they say they cannot do anything to stop it because it came from a web page i 'viewed'............no clue what that would have been. it's the pop-up from hell!
