I just started getting some new behavior when starting Quicken 2008
Home & Business Edition... before the program starts I get an "offer"
for some new Intuit product:

Easily create your own website today!
Introducing Intuit Websites, from the makers of Quicken 2008.
[blah blah blah]
[ Try it Free ] [ Continue ]

I have to click on "Continue" every time I launch the program to get
into my quicken data.

WTF?!?! Now I'm forced to look at, and click past, ads every time I
*start* quicken, not just when I'm using it? I'm upset by this, to
say the least.

Anyone else experiencing this, and/or any suggestions for turning it
off? I tried clicking on "Try it Free" once to see if it would go
away, but it didn't...

The only way I've found to get around it is to let Quicken sit open all day.
Not the way to make friends and influence people, Intuit!

I have never had this happen to my Q08H&B, just checked again, after the
file password, goes directly to "Home" page. I have never selected
"Quicken.com" from the menu bar, don't know if doing so allows them to sneak
spam ads on your machine.

I've never selected "Quicken.com" either, very annoying.

For those interested, this is the offending popup.
The Close button doesn't work, you have to choose "Try it Free!" or "Continue."
I have half a mind to call Intuit, but I'm hoping it will go away tomorrow.

Now I am sticking my foot in my mouth, after doing an update and later
starting Q back up again...I get the offer also. So I went to qw.exe
directly and started from there....same annoying window..looking for
solution.

I chatted with Intuit tech support, and I'm told that there is no way to get
rid of the annoying offer.

Hooray! it's gone. The pop up window now has a check box to "remind me
later". Uncheck it and the box does not appear.

I contacted Intuit support chat and was told to just check the box that I
didn't want to see this again. I spent 15 minutes repeating over and over
that there was no box. The tech repeated over & over that there was a box.
I finally convinced him and he did something to make the box appear next
time I started Quicken. Checked the box--problem solved.
