Annoying New Parking Sites

Example: designerlabel.com

Do they realise their site is now unusable or are they just getting too much money to care or maybe I have spyware on my pc?

Do you get a drivecleaner pop up taking over your browser? I've had this on several domains I've looked up recently.

What was it before?

Why not block pop-ups?

These pop ups are forced, I do block pop ups. It's not just that, they take over your browsers, they're scum!

Its not spyware its the site, I agree you dont even get to see the main site without clicking away all the popups first.

Even my ISP does this now before I can view my emails on their webmail system. I suppose I shouldn't moan when we are making from online advertising...but it's down to how it's implemented.

It's what they're advertising as well and how they're forcing it and showing it to the user, drive cleaner, to be honest the advertising standards authority (do they cover the net yet?) should boot them out of the UK.

It actually took over another opened browser, then I closed that and it took over another whilst telling any naive person that they have a virus on their pc and they should download their offering.

Imagine if you owned the .co.uk and the .com was acting like that? Neighbours should still behave themselves.
