spyware, tracking cookies, trojans
 
All of a sudden your site is trying to load this junk onto my computer. The fact that my firewall is blocking these is making your site unusable to me. What are you or your advertisers doing?

Sounds to me like your spyware blocker is set so "stun"... All I get off FT are cookies and there is nothing harmful about cookies... I've certainly not seen spyware or trojans. Perhaps it's time to use a less strict ad blocker?

Avenue A, Inc is the main one and my blocking program says it is a known threat.

ScottC Oct 23, 2003 10:07 pm
Avenue A is just an ad-tracking cookie, all these spyware programs claiming it's a "threat" are exaggerating.

Exactly. We've had this complaint in the past and checked with our ad company.
