Here is the thing. I am a member of lots of Traffic exchanges. And there are few of them where I can earn some money from just surfing. However trying to login to one of them today, I notice that someone, has put a popupwindow to the sites wich want me to download something. I love to surf on this site so I am pretty much angry...I wonder why can not people play fair?having the same issue...what do you think about issues like this...

I share your annoyance. If we're talking about framebreakers that disrupt the surfing experience, I think sometimes the people who add the sites don't know they are submitting framebreakers, but I'm sure some people do know and deliberately try to evade detection by the traffic exchanges. Actually a good way to avoid these framebreaking sites is to use the NoScript add-on with the Firefox web browser because it only lets "allowed sites" to execute scripts.
The way you described this popup though makes it sound like perhaps the traffic exchange you use has been hacked! I really, really hate when that happens to a good site. While it is the webmaster's job to make sure his or her site is secure, hackers make doing business on the Web more difficult for everyone by exploiting vulnerabilities. We surfers don't have it easy!

Some one told me about NoScript but I did not really understod it, someone else pointed out it would not work to use paypal with it. I have no clue about this thing. But as you said, I also beleive this TE was hithacked, the owner cleaned the site up from popups and framebrakers the other day while I was surfing...perhaps someone got mad with her and tryied to get even...so nasty people ther are out there....
