The site looked like Apple.com when I first found it: http://web.archive.org/web/200502160...www.osx-e.com/

And the spyware looked similar to this:

lol wala, you really make me feel embarrassed about that. At that time, I still have fulltime job 12 hours a day, and I rarely have time to update. And, I'm working alone too without any other admin/mod to help me out. I guess, thats the time where I almost gived up on osx-e and almost sold it. The spyware is from advertising company MammaMediaSolutions and I never use them again since I know the put spyware in the advertisement.

Glad that now, I can spent 18 hours a day in this website and I have a group of wonderful people helping me.

@CoMACry - what does the site that keep redirecting you to osx-e if you don't mind mentioning it to me?
