Avenue A Spyware
My spyware is now blocking a lot of Avenue A incursions from flyertalk. That's fine, but what's frustrating is that it is preventing me from seeing the reloaded page after I post a reply.
Any ideas? Is the spyware actually from here or an associated advertiser?

Your spyware? Spyware blocking other ads?

What used to just be called a "cookie" is now being called spyware, Avenue A is no more than an ad tracking cookie, spyware programs call it spyware to let you think the program is doing a good job, these ad tracking cookies have been around for years and never bothered anyone...
