📝Reviews > Old X10 web sites
How bad is the website ?
Malisaw:
::)
I use a host file I download and keep updated that blocks known spam/malware/adware/nuisance popup sites, etc..... redirects them all to the local port. Well, when I found the product I was interested in by googling and went to click on it...I couldn't load the page. Did a little checking and the X10 site is such a nuisance site that it is blocked by most of the host files available on the net.
I'm amazed that they have such good products (I've used 3 different products of theirs to date -- the video sender/receiver is the first I've used in about 6 years though)... and such pathetic marketing ploys that they are known on the net as a nuisance / spam site.
They sure need to spend some time enhancing the image they've managed to establish over the past years! :( :(
Love the products, hate the marketing! >:(

My Spyware program also blocks X10s sales site by default. For me to look for products I have to allow them access.
In former years X10 was very bad at spamming your mailbox. They are now much better but I would guess the reputation lingers.

X10 was the 1st company to use the "pop under ads". Most default host files designed to block ads block access to X10 sites also. I had to edit mine to allow access to the X10 site for the rare times I go there. Their web site has driven me to buy most of my needs elsewhere.

My ISP blocks X10. I am unable to receive emails from X10. What a pain, I am not notified of responses to my posts and I never get emails from their sales site even though I have requested them. :( :( My ISP has told me that they block what they concider nuisance sites.
