Anti spam? More like ransomware

  • Use at your own risk. I had this plugin for ages (and disabled for most of it) and after updating a bunch of plugins and this one too it then kept having weird links on my site to other blog posts including political propaganda and Herpes cures. Eventually it kept bringing up nagging ads over my site for the “pro” version. Also this plugin seems to have somehow overidden my wp-admin page so that I was totally unable to access it. Deleting the plugin folder from the sites FTP successfully removed this banner. BE WARNED!

    Version 2.1 was broken due to an error I made, which you were using. The error was fixed several days ago. Did you really have to register this user ID on www.ads-software.com just to bash the plugin after I helped you remove it?

    The fixed version was reviewed by www.ads-software.com, and approved, so what is there to beware of?

    I made one mistake in two years, and 460,000+ downloads. Beware, the developer isn’t perfect.

    I found the fix by my own methods not on this page. Also I cant edit my review but I may have been quite hasty at the time because this coincided with another (now unrelated) issue.

    Consider my review score now changed to be less harsh.
