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.

www7.paypopup
http://www7.paypopup.com/popup.php?id=lyricsdepot&pop=enter&t=15&subid=9405

4 links to popup/popunder/advertising loading windows with www7.paypopup
http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~ids/show_history.cgi/Mon+Jan+1+00:00:00+2001

Regards,
 
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,

I appreciate the info, tips, and your devotion to the project, Mike. From
what you've described, paypopup sounds as though it is amongst the most
unsavory of the unsavory. ;-P
