Comments on: Metapredict.com - Stealing Domain Names? http://pocketseo.com/domains/48 Practical SEO Techniques Fri, 29 Aug 2008 09:44:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Balasubramanian http://pocketseo.com/domains/48#comment-799 Balasubramanian Sun, 30 Mar 2008 00:15:19 +0000 http://pocketseo.com/domains/48#comment-799 This not a problem of installing spyware or anti virus. The addon which I installed was the problem, I installed the megaupload addons to mozilla firefox browser. Normally when you are typing in the navigation toolbar in your browser, it should search in the web's domain registarar data base, and if the searched domain name exists( registered )the browser bring the web page from host server where the domain registarar host their web page, and if the domain name is not registered, the browser bring the result that the server not found. In my case I already told that I installed megaupload add-ons, in my computer. When I seach any url through the navigation toolbar, and the searched domain name was not found, the addon hijack the result, and the result was shown in the page of megaclick website. At first as a comman man, I don't know the megaclick and megaupload are two sides of the same coin. I have plan to create some websites, and searched domain names through navigation toolbar, the registered domain names come with the website, and urregistered domain names comes with megaclick page and shows the page was not found. After two days, I rechecked and found many of my searched and unregistered domain names are registered on next day, mainly by metapredict and by others also. As a common man. I don't know how my searched and unregistered domain names are taken immediatly, known people must reveal this , whether searched and unregistered domain names are stealed to a database and sold to somebody. I trusted Mozilla firefox and installed, and use it till today, so I think they should take responsibility to reveal this type of s. Anyway I uninstall my add-ons This not a problem of installing spyware or anti virus. The addon which I installed was the problem, I installed the megaupload addons to mozilla firefox browser.

I will run the online AVG spyware (as you suggested in a previous blog) and will follow up with results. Thanks for the info!

DBA MetaPredict.com with MetaPredict as the registrant. So I began asking myself why would someone like UltraRPM/MetaPredict want to register my name as one of "their own domain names?" I am not saying that what has taken place is illegal, but such does raise a few questions.
