Default Software Company to End Pop-Up Ad Deluge

GREENBELT, Md. - A San Diego company has agreed to stop bombarding computer users with Internet pop-up ads to advertise its ad-blocking software, avoiding a court battle with the Federal Trade Commission.

D Squared Solutions LLC, which was created by two college students, reached a settlement Wednesday with the FTC, which had filed a civil suit against the company last year.

Bit like the axe-wielding maniac saying you buy my axe so I'll stop wielding it.

Still, it's better than continuing with their spamming.

Cheers, TAS
