Advantages: great puzzles

Disadvantages: getting virus type software

I have been a morning-afterwork-before bed relaxer with Jig Zone for over a year now. Over the last few months, I was troubled with PopUps, even with PopUp Blockers on, and not just when on the Jig Zone site.

Traced problem back to a program that was installed, a spyware according to two software programs downloaded to find the problem. Seems when I go to the Jig Zone site, a program called Istsvc.exe gets put into the OS, leaving me with sex, diet, drug related popups. I am fairly certain that this software originates from the JZ site, as I have deleted it twice now, using HijackThis.exe and one from Symantec, the makers of Systemworks. They both IDed it, deleted the Istsvc files and registers, and only when I went back to Jig Zone did the program reload into my OS.

Let the users beware!

It is a real trade off between the puzzles and having the virus type software!
