Enable Javascript
Like most websites, BigCrumbs uses JavaScript to provide an enhanced experience for members and visitors.
JavaScript is enabled by default in almost all browsers.
To test whether you have JavaScript enabled, please
click here.
You should see a message indicating that JavaScript is enabled. If nothing happens or a new browser window opens instead, then you
do not have JavaScript enabled. Please consult your browser documentation or
submit a support ticket for assistance enabling JavaScript.

Allow Popups on BigCrumbs.com
BigCrumbs.com uses popup windows to send you to your selected retailer and for certain other functions. We do not
use them for advertising.
By default, some popup blockers (such as the Google toolbar) may block such windows. You'll
know this is the case if nothing happens when you click on a retailer's link. Please
set your popup blocker to allow Popups from BigCrumbs.com.

SpyWare and ParasiteWare
Certain software known as SpyWare and ParasiteWare can interfere with your BigCrumbs.com account
being credited.
SpyWare is generally downloaded and installed on your machine without your knowledge and can be
detected with anti-spyware software, such as SpyDetect and Microsoft Anti-Spyware.
We suggest that you periodically scan your system, not just to ensure that your BigCrumbs.com purchases are credited, but also for your own security.
ParasiteWare, on the other hand, may be installed with or without the user's knowledge and sometimes "piggy-backs" on other downloaded
software that the user knowingly installed. This software actually redirects your BigCrumbs.com account credit to the ParasiteWare creators' sites.
The list of such software that should be uninstalled includes, but is not limited to software downloaded from these sites:
- BargainBuddy
- BearShare
- BuyerSport
- CommissionMaker
- e2Give
- eBates (MoeMoneyMaker )
- FatWallet
- Gator
- GreenThumb
- HuntBar
- iGive
- JambaFind
- Kazaa
- LimeWire
- Morpheus
- MyPoints
- NowBox
- SchoolCash
- ShopAtHome
- StreamCast
- SupportShopping
- Technology4Kids
- TopMoxie
- Upromise
