Hello, I use spyware blaster and ad aware. I use Firefox. Every time I
run them these are back:

AdRevolver
Advertising.com
AvenueA.Inc
DoubleClick
HistLink
MediaPlex
Statcounter
Zedo

How can I stop them from getting put on my computer in the first
place?

Thanks
Sarah

Asked and answered in the other newsgroup to which you posted. Please
don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you *less*
help, not more. See this for why:

If you have forgotten where you posted or can't find your post, use
Google Groups Advanced Search and search for your name.

Learn to cross-post.

A point not made is that N multiposted copies will consume N times the
disk space for each of the separate copies of the same post.
Crossposted messages have just *one* copy on the server with links in
the newsgroups back to the same single copy. Multiposting wastes disk
space on the server. Yes, your post may be small but remember that you
consume N times the space on one server and then do so again on all the
newsgroups servers worldwide. You waste more bandwidth getting N copies
of your multiposted message distributed to all the newsgroups servers
worldwide. Cross-posting has just one copy of the message on an NNTP
server, and only one copy gets propagated to other NNTP servers.

To those visiting the newsgroups, crossposting helps them see ALL the
replies from those in the other RELATED newsgroup to which you linked
your post. That way, they don't waste their time duplicating similar
replies.

On the other hand, if I ask as many people as possible, the
probability of getting help rises with the square root of the number
of people who will spend their day telling the internet world why they
should or shouldn't do something. Better than no life at all I
suppose.....you were most helpful, guys. Spend your Friday nights on
the internet?

Cheers.
