Unwanted pop-up windows on behalf of third-party companies. Banners and hyperlinks begging to be clicked for confirmation. Interstitial pages that only disappear after ticking a box, or email addresses used as confirmation of enrollment in some travel club apparently required when buying an online airline ticket. Sound familiar? Are these practices of cybercriminals? Well, not exactly. (See earlier story, "Lawmakers Slam Deceptive Web Marketer.")
