Out of curiosity again and Mylot was having some bug yesterday , I clicked on an ad here that says I could earn 30 pesos -180 pesos per survey . And that’s Mobrog, which pays for surveys it says . I was already reading its Terms and Conditions when I read that it can install some cookies in my computer and it enumerated what they might install . That’s where I backed out , because I fear that my computer may get some of those computer viruses .

Oh it better to be safe than sorry , right ?

@SADCROSH We really have to be careful with what we upload in our computers . The computer seem to be what makes us alive specially when we are at online earning sites like Mylot .

I refuse the surveys that download tracking cookies, etc. They often don't pay you anyway even after they've downloaded their gunk to your computer.

I will surely back out when it means they will be installing cookies . The word install from their end can mean that it may have some virus .

You saved yourself well in time. Some of the sites, steal our data, when we log into such sites. We should be careful with each every site, we log into.

@SIMPLYD - It is better not to share all personal details on a new unknown website.

I would be very wary about opening any offers at all, who knows what bugs they will invite into your computer.

Yes indeed . However , i was just curious of how it goes . Then i saw their terms and read about those . I know it's not for me .

I never install anything on my computer, unless I know what it is. There is just to much danger of something infecting the computer, that can cause lots of problems.

@SIMPLYD I don't even like the cookies that are on the computer, but I don't do anything about them, as I think they are harmless.

I don't bother with survey sites. They never seem to work out right. I do what I feel is legit and honest. And being here on MyLot is the choice I made. And a few other sites as well. Concentrate here, you will be better off.

True, it's better safe than sorry. I remember last week I found my computer installed strange program which I don't realize where it's coming from -no relation to Mylot. It seems I got it when I was downloading program. We really have to be careful now

I think you're absolutely right to be cautious! With the amount of sites we all visit with working online, sometimes you just don't know what you're getting yourself into!

I think you did the right thing. Some companies have things like that fine printed and most people don't even care to read them. Good you noticed before you signed up.
