I couldn't get to CP at all anymore. Was afraid I lost her. I did what any man would do, curl up in a corner and cry.
I'm glad to see she's back.

I enjoy the game Plants vs. Zombies.
Several years ago I bought the game but after several laptop rebuilds it was gone.
I saw that it was on sale for less than $10.00 so I bought it again.
This time around the installation included a toolbar for Explorer, the creation of an account at Pogo, and a launcher that requires a web page to open before the game will start. That is right, before the non-browser based game can be played a browser window has to open, fill with ads, and then the game launches.
I immediately uninstalled everything and wrote Pogo telling them that they can go to hell.
Since signing up for the service I've received 1/2 dozen emails and I've indicated at least three times that I want to unsubscribe from all/any newsletters. I'm still getting these things - the unsubscribe isn't working and probably never did work.
This sort of nonsense combined with micro-transactions, pay-to-win, and other annoying features is driving me from gaming. I simply want to be able to buy and game and not have the entire freakin' company downloaded to my computer, launching 1/2 dozen processes, tracking me all over the internet and sending me coupons for wool turtle neck sweaters.
DIE IN A FIRE.

Are you getting this game through Steam? -- Just curious.
I use Steam for most of my gaming.

If they (somewhere) give you an email address to access (and, if all else fails, there's always whois), they unsubscribe can be handled.
I wrote an SMTP mailer that can send any specified number (large is good) of emails. It can change the return address on each (if you wish) and even modify the titles and content somewhat.
One successful use of this was sending a site that ignore the unsubscribe went to the effect that "I keep asking you to unsubscribe this address. IF 100 request aren't enough I can send A LOT MORE.
Seemed to work. Even if it's the domain registered owner - someone will get annoyed enough to make them cooperate.

I like the strategy of giving them back a little of the pain they've been sending your way.

hWnd = FindWindow(null, "pogo"); MoveWindow(
hWnd,
0, 0, 1, 1, false );
ShowWindow(
hWnd,
SW_MINIMIZE );
There's probably an easier way to do this with C#.
But this'll give you the general idea.
I did this for years with the old free dial up Juno service.
Each time you dialed up you got an ugly window with flashing ads.
Just run a program like the one above and you don't even know the window is there.
Yes, there are other, possibly better, ways to find the window you want to minimize, but this is easy and it works.

I think that is clever but for me the problem isn't the web page as much as the assumption that after paying the full price for something that it is okay to include ads, toolbars, and other malware.
So I handle it by uninstalling everything and sending a note to the company to let them know where they can shove their service.

I agree with you. Yours is the better solution.
Just thought the technical solution was interesting too.
