person to design and optimize my site http://www.allwindowssoft.com/

It cost me $1500. Could somebody look at the site and say me if it Ok
or not. Thanks.

It's maybe worth US$1 for that job, ask your next door kid next time, thye may
have a better idea for a site too.

Sorry, I'm afraid I have to agree. The site is definately not worth the
money you paid for it. The price would be reasonable if the design and
coding was up to a professional level but it is very poor. Hope this
helps steer you in the right direction next time.

Same response as in c.i.w.a.html, where I pointed to my response in
a.w.webmaster, which pointed to my response in a.h.critique. Please
don't multi-post.

You are joking, right? If not put a stop payment on that check!

All kidding aside, what did this $1500 pay for? Google "ASCII Doom" and
see what page your site appears...

Do you really think he paid that? He just wrote so that people would go and
visit his "spam" site.

No it did not *really* think he paid $1500 for that site, I was making a
point. If he paid $150 he got ripped off! But you would be surprise what
some folks get for $1500!

Sorry? What about you saying?

The ascii doom download seems to contain some kind of dropper. When I ran
it it tried to add "jkhhe" to winlogon -- Google for it, it's a trojan.
Luckily I have spybot teatimer installed and I blocked it, but then I did a
system scan and found three trojans (1 using Avast and 2 using AVG Spyware).
I scan my system regularly and I'm pretty sure they weren't there before I
ran the doom.exe installer. The interesting thing is, none of three
different virus scanners detected anything in doom.exe.

Also, after I ran the doom.exe, I couldn't access any antivirus websites. I
had to use a different computer to download them so I could clean my
machine.

The other possibility is that the file became infected after I downloaded
it, but before I ran it. Could have been something already on my machine,
but God knows how it could have got there, I am very careful.

After your original post on this I downloaded 4 random files from the
site and checked them with AVG. It found nothing. Now, I didn't run
them so it is possible that they might go out on the Web and cause the
infection that way.

I do not believe in an abstract quality of a site. Quality is good if it
matches the site's purpose.
If you did not make the site contents, which is said is free, then what is
the purpose of the site?
If you authored that FLASH stuff and just want people to be aware of it,
then the site is just fine (except the price).
But in this case you must be able to build such a site yourself in no time.
In any case two poins might be relevant:
1. This sort of sites usually are visited via Search Engines. Your home page
is practically text free which is not loved by SEs
2. People are suspicious downloading unknown stuff from unknown sites. When
this stuff requires installation, the suspitions double.
Flash games do not require installation. Why are they made installable?
