AdEngage Review

AdEngage was founded in May 2004. AdEngage serves as the link between publishers who want to sell ad space on their websites and advertisers who want to purchase ads on these websites.

I tried to give them a try. In this AdEngage review, I am going to review it by my traditional reviewing template.

Payments

AdEngage accepts both credit card and PayPal. The fact that they accept PayPal made me want to join them.

Quality of service

Well there is nothing to talk about it here, it’s all automated. You buy the ad (flat rate or per click) and after publisher reviews it the link goes live.

Support

The support is top notch. I had a problem with an ad yesterday. I didn’t see the ad displayed so I emailed them using their contact form. I have received back a screen-shot with my ad showing, circled so I see and the support agent even told me that they will issue me a full refund if I’m not happy with the ad (even though half of the period my ad should be displayed passed).

Overall, I recommend using AdEngage. I have had NO problem with them.

WinAnonymous - Beware

Today I’ve had lots of trouble with a program called WinAnonymous. I accidentally opened Internet Explorer and it downloaded at my computer and started installing (later I figured out that I accidentally clicked the install button). I tried to stop this installation but I couldn’t until I closed the process.

It was too late, the program was already installed. Ads started to show up, internet was damn slow, CPU usage at 90%. Oh and that virus also removed all my anti-spyware softwares. Scary isn’t it? Well here is how I removed it:

-Downloaded a fresh new anti spyware software and using it I deleted this trojan

- Deleted the following registers values : O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinAnonymous] C:\Program Files\WinAnonymous\GDC.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ugdccw] “C:\PROGRA~1\WINANO~1\UGDCcw.exe” -start
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Salestart] “C:\Program Files\Common Files\WinAnonymous\mc.exe” dm=http://winanonymous.com ad=http://winanonymous.com sd=http://ilp.winanonymous.com

- Deleted the following files : GDC.exe, mc.exe, UGDCcw.exe

Be careful before installing something on your computer. It took me 1,5 hours to take care of this program.
