Title: WELL THIS WAS NICE!
Post by: marina48 on May 21, 2008, 04:28:03 pm
I Joined up with nielson and nielson Last nite downloaded their software like they request
And Guess to my surprize
This Moring I could not connect to the internet
Called my internet company who walked me though trying to fix it
In safe mode I was able to connect but not a good idea to do they then said it is your secruity/antiviriurs
so i call them  No It is not them  all is working fine and they did not block the internet connection
Last resort  I uninstalled the soft were from neilson and nielson reboooted the computer guess what
I was able to connect >:( >:(
There softwere was blocking my internet connection >:(
And I know this because when I did this they had several questions for a reason for leaving and the top of the list was does it interfere with you internet conncection

HELLO YES IT DID >:(

Yes I did Last nite
and then everything was working fine shut the puter down
Then when I went to get online this morning  it was a no go
and you know how long it takes to get though tech support and others Etc
Screw around
They were confused also by the end
So I thought well maybe nelsoln and nielson had something to do with it
Sure enough >:(

If you have shut down your computer since you downloaded the software
and have been able to get online since then you should be ok
I hope for you
Belive me it was a pain in the *bleep* only because One day everything was fine and all of a sudden  not ???

i did that as an offer forever ago.. still have their software on my pc. and have been paid from them for taking surveys :)

here's the reason you could'nt connect.... i had this problem when i 1st installed it and was going to take it off to like you did but hubby figured it out for me.... it was your anti verse... you have to go in and make sure that you allow their software, if not then you won't beable to connect because their software runs on your internet taking info from the sites you go to to get info on the kinds of surveys to send you... you anti verse thinks it's spam or spyware so it blocks it there for blocking your net also without really knowing it. that's why they said all was fine on their end because on their end it was... on your end it was'nt.

Wow. How much is it worth, and is it a freebie or is it a CC offer?
Title: Re: WELL THIS WAS NICE!
Post by: marina48 on May 21, 2008, 07:45:49 pm
its a freebie
and worth $2
but again if you are not intrested in surveys dont sign up
I did because I do surves quite often
you dont get rich by no means
but every little bit helps ;D

Well, my advice is to never download anything off of websites you don't trust.
