Annoying
When you type in a URL in most web browsers, it tries to be helpful and show you things you've typed before. It's especially bad if you're checking Hotmail because there are quite a few disreputable sites starting with "hot." If you do a lot of surfing it gets worse. At the peak, I could click on a text box and type any letter, and it would come up with something highly suspect. EDIT: ...autocomplete list? That's what it called? Can the thing be turned off?

Once I was at the radio station where I volunteered, and I was checking out my Dot.TK account. I noticed in their list of new pages that one was called something outrageous like animalpornstars.tk, and thinking this site wouldn't ever support that, so it must be a joke, I clicked on it. No bestiality, just a cascade of hundreds of pop-ups. With no privacy around me.

I used to go to a computer lab in the basement of the university's law building every day because I didn't have Internet at home. I used the same computer, and at some point I discovered that someone else who uses the computer regularly in the morning has particularly striking taste in porn. Because it had already be looked at, I figured there was no harm in refreshing old pages that were discovered earlier.
