LuckyStrike,
FYI: added revenue.net and paypopup to the HOSTS file.
The new entries will be included in the next update ........
Note: "paypopup" actually redirects to a "https" page,
which IE jumps up with an invalid certificate!
[more info: - added under the following]
# YesUp Ecommerce Solutions [pop-up exit traffic] = paypopup, and gopopup
# Oversee.net [Restricted Zone site] = revenue.net
As for the Yahoo site, you can add any cookie prompts to the "always block"
via Privacy tab. You might want to also add: "us.adserver.yahoo.com" *if*
you are *not* a Yahoo subscriber.
[example] the Yahoo geocities page loads:
http://us.adserver.yahoo.com/l?S=76001054:N/cookie=1

Mike,
Some additional findings on the PestPatrol spyware/tracking cookies that
are undetected by Ad-Aware.
Revenue.net Spyware Cookie
http://revenue.net/
I should add that Ad-aware picked up this spyware cookie undetected by
Pestpatrol so the playing field might almost be leveled.
