Please nuke the owner of spe.atdmt.com

I don’t quite know what “spe.atdmt.com” is. I think it is an adserver of some sort. I don’t know who owns it (if you are the owner or works in the company or a company running it – please report to me), but I intend to find out.

This adserver is completely mucking up my internet use. Time after time I see my machine not moving on to the next site I have clicked because it is waiting for “spe.atdmt.com”.

And recently I was completely unable to go back to the previous page while surfing on amazon.com. I read about a particular book and wanted to go back. Several times I was unable to do it, and had to first reload the page I was on and the quickly press back, and then it worked. But then, in the end, even this little trick stopped working, and I had to leave amazon entirely.

So nuke the bastards that slow down my browsing and probabaly that of millions of other people. I hope Amazon, Google and other corporations do something about this – this can’t be in their interest either.

spe.atdmt.com – you suck! Big time!

PS: There are hundreds of people complaining about spe.atdmt.com on the net. robtex.com has a little info about it:
