Does anyone like this?

Running Chrome in Ubuntu 10.10. Occasionally my browser opens with a line at the bottom showing downloads. I just deleted 27 of them and now have 5 make that 6 more. Every time I read another post I get another download.

Who what is dar.youknowbest dot com? Why is it necessary to download to my machine?

I suppose someone knows how to block it but it irritates me that I can't make a move with-out this crap.



Here's a tidbit.

Quote:

"youknowbest understands the importance of having a user-centric vision of commerce on the Web and is building a set of services that will take advantage of the Microsoft .NET platform," said Bob Muglia, group vice president of the .NET Services Group at Microsoft. "youknowbest has developed some compelling commerce technology that will take advantage of the work we have done with .NET."

Jeff...leave me alone!

Beautiful, Microsoft and Google have figured out a way to get their "eCommerce" crap onto a Linux machine. Those boys sure keep busy. I really think its time for me to switch to Chrome.
