WARNING: DON'T DO OPINION SQUARE
« on: September 18, 2009, 06:03:38 pm »
I attempted the offer ($1) this morning and downloaded the program. A soon while later, my internet started acting up and being weird. First some websites wouldn't load, or half of them would. Then my cookies cleaner was bust, then my firefox update wouldn't work right and the list goes on and on. Finally, I realized I must have a virus of some sort. I unistalled a few things and restarted. Still the same...THEN...I unistalled OpinionSquare...and BAM all back to normal.

Opinion Square contains something, I don't know exactly what, but it could be a virus or spyware or something. It has something that you DO NOT want. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND NOT DOING THIS OFFER.

PS: I didn't get credited either.

This is why I am always a little leery when you have download in order to access an offer.  I stay away from offers like that because the same happened to me with a different advertiser.

I did this one a few days back. I wish you had posted this then. I downloaded everything and my computer crashed within hours! Geek Squad had to come out and restore my system because of the viruses and such. I did not receive credit either, I am certain that had something to ddo with my system failure. DO NOT COMPLETE THIS OFFER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR INFORMATION ON YOUR COMPUTER! I plan to send a support ticket to let Kohler know of the problem as well.

Thanks for the advice. I generally don't do offers where you have to download something, but I did consider doing this one. I'm glad I didn't.

Thank you for the warning. I usually do offers like that, because I figure its not much work downloading something, but then I get in trouble. i've had otheer sites mess up my computer, but at least the damage was not permanent and everything went back to normal when I deleted the offending download.

Hello, I just deleted this offer, and all of a sudden, I was able to do the 2 cents offer for the 1st time in 18 days. Coincidence or not...I wonder :BangHead:

Thanks for the info.  I checked out this offer but I did not do the download.  I usually try to stay away from those.  Glad I did not do it.

I downloaded that & I never had a problem with my computer. I ended up deleting it cause it never credited me.

oh was it opinion square??? I downloaded that then babylon and my computer started freezing every time I logged on. I had to go into safemode and do the computer backup recovery just to get it to work again. I figured it was the babylon one because it didn't act up til then but it was one of them. Plus they didn't credit me. Go figure lol.

I agree with you on this one, opinion square is  :bs:.  Luckily I wasn't even able to install it when I tried to.  It was immediately blocked, so something is definitely wrong there.  Don't take the chance you guys.
