Default The pop-up ad that won't die
Posted By: Bob Lemke

Bud Obermeyer asked me to post the following since he is unable to sign into the forum:

"The pop up ads are a minor annoyance. Worse is that when you enter this site a minimum of FIVE spyware cookies are downloaded and activated on your system tracking and reporting on your internet activity! The 5 spyware sites are gator.com, centerport.net, zedo.com, popuptraffic.com, bfast.com. MORE worse is that spyware from gator.com often wreaks havoc with many operating systems."

I've forwarded this to our CSI people and will report back next week.
