Surfing internet is becoming quite risky nowadays. You often have to browse through many unwanted popup windows, decline repetitive dialers install programs, sometimes your start page is changed without your consent, or new bookmarks are added without you knowing it. Actually, it is getting worse to the point we are getting emails everyday regarding those problems from our surfers. Your computer can be infected by programs called adware (unsollicited advertising), spyware (recording your surfing activity to sell your informations). Those programs come from many sources, webpages can make you install them unknowingly, or popular softwares like Kazaa can install them onto your computer. Before going further, let us give you some informations on our site, and explain you why Sex Oasis links are not totally free of the scamming stuff we just mentioned. Experimented surfers probably know this already, but if you are new, read this. We provide links to galleries containing sex pictures, movies and stories. Some of the galleries are of our own, but the vast majority is not. Webmasters come to our site to submit their own galleries, we review them, and if they are clean, we add them to our huge database. The problem is : some webmasters just can't live honnestly and change their galleries after they submitted to Sex Oasis. They add popups, dialers, anything, but the worst of all : they can edit your hosts file. If you don't know what it is you must absolutely read what follows. |

Very important : your hosts file can be hacked and modified There is a way for unhonnest webmasters to add popups and other nasty stuff to almost every page you visit. With the use of an exploit they can hack your computer files and modifiy a very important one : - Windows 98:
c:\windows\hosts By editing this file they can steal traffic from any site they want, they can block your access to any site, or they can add advertising (popup(s), dialers) to them. To hack your hosts file cheaters only have to have you visit their page, be it a TGP or simply a thumbnailed gallery! You don't have to click anywhere on the page, you don't have to install anything, it is a very malicious hack; you will not even notice that a flaw in your computer settings has just been exploited... Open your hosts file (it has no extention) with notepad. It should contain only this line : 127.0.0.1 localhost If you see other domain names below it, it has been changed illegally. Just delete everything but 127.0.0.1 localhost. Save the file and close it, and you should be fine again. If you are unsure, you can simply delete the file from your hard drive, it will be ok. I have heard that making your file read-only can protect you, but I am unsure. If you really don't understand how to do this, or if you want a more advanced protection against this problem and others, read the next topic. |

Better safe than sorry : update your Windows system and IE browser Cheaters use security flaws to install unwanted programs. Update your softwares frequently and you will be fine. We are talking about Microsoft systems and browsers because they are the target of cheaters, being the most popular. Keep your browser up to date, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp and get the latest version and patches for MS Internet Explorer. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and download the latest upgrades and security patches for Windows systems. If you update regularly you can really avoid a lot of surfing problems. Click here to add this page to your bookmarks so you can find the download links handy in the future. |

Our policy regarding email advertising It is very simple : we do not tolerate any email advertising. That means our links are free of sponsors collecting surfers emails, because most of them will simply spam your email, sell your email multiple times, etc. If you find a gallery (the manual reviewing process can never be perfect) containing such links, you should report it to us and we will delete it. Link reports : we ask you to enter your email adress when you report a bad link to us, we use it only to ask you additional informations, if needed. The email adresses we receive are not stored anywhere, the reports are simply deleted after reading. We do not sell them to anyone. I receive enough spam daily and I do not want surfers to receive more than they probably do. |

Click on this link (opens in a new window), this will launch the parasite test (javascript), then read the results below detection script. If your computer is infected they will tell you how to uninstall the parasite. You might prefer to download and install spybot, though, as it is much more simple of use and can detect much more unwanted programs; the parasite pages often only tells you how to remove the parasites manually, meaning editing the registry, typing dos commands, etc. Shortcut : test your computer. |

Against popups your best and most easy to use weapon is a simple keyboard shortcut : ALT + F4. Press them simultaneously and it will immediately close the active window. You can do it fast enough to close very fast opening popups. You might find some windows that you cannot close with AFT+F4, try another shortcut : control + x. If you still can't close them, use control + ALT + Suppr to open the task manager to select and kill the application manually. But, if you prefer, we found that Google, the world #1 search engine has included a great popups-killer ability with its latest toolbar : Google Bar. With it you will be able to stop popups entirely, or allow popups only from specific sites (white list). Best of all, it is 100% free, and does not require any signup or anything. Installation is extremely easy and only takes a few seconds : click here to visit Google Bar's Homepage and install it. For a detailed help regarding their popups-blocker ability, just visit this page : Google Bar Popups Help. |
