Feedback and support: support ticket in member area

Advantages:

1). Less or no interruption due to server downtime or temporary connection issuses. If our server goes down, if a server software issue, if a ISP related connection issue, the toolbar will attempt restarting every 10 seconds and when issue resolves surfing will continue without you having to restart the surfpage manually again. Of course, if your own PC shuts down surfing also does. Any PC occasionally will stall - nothing but manual restart will help

2) No framebreakers since no surfframe. The target page url will show in your address bar instead of being captured inside the surfpage frame.
If you are also using the Alexa Toolbar, this is of great importance when it comes to improve rankings for target sites.

3) Suppresses alert message windows like SSL windows and javascript alerts.

4) Enables you to surf with maximum 'Security' turned on
In IE click: Tools>>Interntet Options>>Security, set 'Security' to 'High'. That way a lot of interrupting, annoying and potentially harmful stuff are prevented from being executed. Like javascript etc. IE also has a 'Customize' security settings option with lots of alternative settings to choose from.
!!!!!!ATTENTION, if you choose 'High' setting you will not be able to surf other traffic exchanges on the same PC as most traffic exchanges unfortunately rely on javascript to function.

Faqs:
(issues reported by users this far)

An alert window 'The timer is expired, By.' shows! I can´t access toolbar.
Answer: It´s a bug, Uninstall toolbar - then download newest version.

I can´t surf other traffic exchanges simultaneously, timers do not work!
Answer: You probably set 'Security' to 'High'. Most other traffic exchange scripts won´t work since depending on javascript.
Resolution: In IE, click >>Tools>>Internet Options>>Security: Set to 'Medium' to enable javascript execution.

Stops for login windows!
Answer: Yes, unfortunately stops for htaccess type alert messages.
Resolution: Next version of toolbar will autoclose such windows. Alternatively: Custom Settings in IE Internet options>>Security, look for and select 'Anonymous logon' which will make IE loading an error page instead of a login alert window.

Note: This problem resolved with version 1.5.1 2006-01-09.

Connection drops
Answer: Could improve if adding 'Internet Explorer' to exceptions in Window Firewall.
However, this means lowering your security level.

Computer hangs for ptp stuff!
Answer: Yes. God did not intend websites would be setup with layers of numerous layers, ads, script code etc. Actually, loading such uncontrolled stuff eventually will shut down any PC.


What to do? Using toolbar and altering security settings will kill most the stuff. It´s sad having to truncate certain websites, but actually, they asked for it and you have no choice if you want your PC to stay alive. You will have to deal with all security problems yourself since traffic exchanges cannot guarantee bad stuff will not show up. Banning and scanning pages will NOT give 100% protection as pages changes over time. Loading a page is a business between your PC and some other webserver over which clickevolution.com has no influence.

Is toolbar a popup blocker?
Answer: NO. Microsoft did a splendid job with their new inbuilt blocker. We can´t do it better
However, toolbar autocloses most alert message windows, a feature not coming with IE.

How to block 'unblockable' popups like 'casalemedia' etc?
Answer: Only possible if browser security is set to 'High' i.e does not execute scripts. >>Tools>>Internet Options>>Security>>

Where do bad things come from?
Answer: scripts, such scripts could be hidden inside html frames or html iframes which could be hidden inside other frames which could be hidden inside other frames... You can block scripts or iframes in >>Tools>>Internet Options>>Security>>
Small iframes are also a popular way of loading stuff without actually showing it.

How about page ranking?
Answer: If using the Alexa Toolbar + Auto Surfer Toolbar - it will affect Alexa page ranking. If everyone user were to utilize that combination it would really be a perfect tool to improve Alexa ranking. Even if Alexa is not the perfect ranking system (actually stinks) - influence is large and people are impressed by it believing the system provides the ultimate truth (which is not the case).

Alexa is a tool for increasing Amazon sales - it´s not created for the sake of internet users.

If toolbar is not visible, right click in toolbar and select 'Auto Surfer' (see below). You can hide the Auto Surfer Toolbar by unchecking the 'Auto Surfer' option.

This is how 'Alert message suppression' looks on the screen. The surftimer will stop, a timeout window will auto-close the alert message within 20 seconds and surftimer will start again. Works and looks the same for Security alerts- and Login alert windows.

Attention: If you perform other (normal) tasks by opening ordinary IE tool windows while surftimer is running, those windows will also autoclose. To avoid this - click the timer button to pause timer (Waiting state) or use another IE window with no active surf timer.

Error message from toolbar?
If your toolbar start button shows 'Error' it´s probably a temporary 'connection issue' you can´t do anything about. Most likely our webserver is down or the internet connection fails somewhere on its way to our server.
Do nothing - await connection to reestablish automatically. A new reconnection attempt performed every 10 seconds. If curious, you can simulate and test this function by unplugging your PC internet connection.
