The 'Wheel of Fortune' download (first one that comes up under Free).
I did it, and after accepting it prompted me with like 5 extra things to accept before it downloaded.
Obviously I said no to them all, then it dled in like half a second and when it finished my browser crashed.. AntiVir went crazy with those bubble messages.. and my CPU usage bounced to 80% with this one asdfdasdasdasd type process.

I cancelled the process and rolled back my CPU to yesterday.

Sad part is it didn't even give me my 170 or w.e Gelats.

people are complaining about spam mail, adware, and there's probably spyware too.

[ReptarKingOfTheOZone]

this one is most likely a virus :-
Shape the future of the internet with Nielsen



This year we are giving away 30,000 cash to 150 lucky winners!

No purchase required to receive 573 Gelats

Gelats awarded when you install the meter to your computer and leave installed for at least 1 month. Offer reports on a 15 minute delay.

didnt click it but the easiest method to gain the most gelats. just seems dodgy.

I'm amazed you used surveys as a means of offering free gralats stefan, A large portion of surveys are only intended to fill your e-mail with spam or are a means to deliver malware and spyware by looking like surveys, and many surveys do not end at all, i tried once to do a survey for a free PS3 and spent a full five and a half hours before i gave up on it.

Perhaps try another way to offer gralats to your customers, like rewarding them when they submit quality content? That would certainly inspire people to improve their work and weed out the ones that just want a staff spot even though they have no skills.

Soon there will be a flood of threads: "Graal used to run fine but now it runs so slow!" because all the little kids desperate for gralats will have downloaded 50 various toolbars, crap applications, and by the sound of it, viruses, to their computer.

[skillmaster19]

I got a useless chrome extension for one of them, it replaced words when you hover over them with ads that pop up. Think it was livingplay games or something like that. anyways no more free offers gelats for me lol.

[Tricxta]

Would it be possible to reward gelats for say every 25 rep points you receive. it could potentially make the forums a cleaner place with less spam :0

[Chris500]

This is a very innovative system of payment for subscription. Graal is reaching levels that other games have started tapping into and is moving into the 21st century finally. I'm glad. Even if there are viruses - avoid downloading things unless you're in a virtual machine or use something like Sandboxie, as others have said.

Make a junk e-mail and relish in the fact that, if you tried hard enough, you will not have to pay for Graal anymore. Wonderful feature. Thank you!

dude this is great i just got over 1300 grelats ez

[Jiroxys7]

Aside from the spam (which I still got even though I entered a fake e-mail address into one of the surveys) and the supposed adware, there are some silly offers there too. One of them was a survey to check your "Real Age". Thing is, it said you're only eligible if you are over 40 years old.

Also, you can edit the URL in order to access super rewards for other users. This could be abusable somehow, but I didn't really look into it.

Feel free to complete some rewards for my account.

[oo_jazz_oo]

The rewards do actually work. I just find it in bad taste to teach kids to download programs blindly in order to get free things in games.

Not that spending your parents money without them knowing is any better...at least then your now putting them at risk for viruses that might destroy their computer and/or steal their information. Just my two cents tho.

I'm quite certain the SuperRewards guys try to keep their stuff virus-free.

[james544]

They try to, but it's unavoidable at points.

[ReptarKingOfTheOZone]

whether you get free gelats or not, i dont think its worth the risk of a possible harmful virus.
