I’m angry that the cretins at RevContent have in effect, hijacked my PC!

RevContent is a cancerous pita!

Edit Subject

I have noticed lately that at the end of current events sites I frequent, a series of "topics" masquerading as relevant info is appearing. They are posted by RevContent whatever that is. I have determined that removing it is a convoluted process beyond my meager PC capabilities. I don't know how this program got into my PC but it appears that it is going to cost me $ to have a PC specialist remove it.

I don't know if it is within the scope of Ghostery to block out this potentially harmful nuisance inasmuch as I don't know what category of protections this falls under.

Pete, here's an example:
http://bitecharge.com/play/nationality

Michael is overemphasizing the threat of this, but the ads do obfuscate its origin as it may seem as it is a genuine part of the website. It also geo-tracks and hence show (some of) the ads in the language of the user.

I too would be glad if you added this to your database :)
Looking forward to hear your responsem Pete.

Kind regards
Sam
