"A New York online ad technology firm, United Virtualities, is preparing to introduce a product that will allow advertisers to automatically change the appearance of Web browsers, usurping some of the functions built into popular browsers designed by Microsoft and Netscape Communications, a unit of AOL Time Warner."

"Many Web users complain about intrusive pop-up and pop-under ads (unaware that turning off Javascript will put a stop to them). Now there's a new application that automatically alters the appearance of Web browsers, changing toolbars and options without prior user consent. United Virtualities is about to release the product "Ooqa Ooqa" (no, I am not making this up). Their web site does not provide any technical information about the app, leaving one to speculate about its security and privacy implications."
