I do not have the time to pursue that kind nonsense. I too am victimized by the predators who have nothing better to do than to ply their acts of subterfuge against their unsuspecting visitors.

The types of sites that invade your privacy are always the one's that have pop-ups or ads everywhere - what I call 'flea-market' sites. They always have a bunch of ads everywhere that have little or nothing to do with what you are searching for. Who wants to see ads for cars when they are researching information? If you search for something on a flea-market web site, they will have tacky looking ads everywhere and you will have your privacy invaded because they are interested in selling you something that you were not originally intending to purchase.

This is especially true of those sites that have inappropriate ads on them. For example if you search for 'red rock canyon' and you get a web site that has ads for cars, bank loans or other things that are unrelated to your search then you have good cause to think that these people or the affiliate programs that they are advertising for, are gathering information about you. That is a fact.

These sites also frequently have inaccurate information because they are not interested in the data, they only put words on their sites to spam the search engines.

This has created a market for software that removes these spies from your computer. The best known of these is a free product called Ad-Aware here is the link to them CLICK HERE. WE ARE IN NO WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS COMPANY AND DO NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING FOR RECOMMENDING IT. It will check your computer for the tracking cookies that the flea-market web sites put on your computer and remove them.

My interest is solely in exposing those web sites that parade around representing one thing and then trying to sell you something that you never wanted in the first place and also whose affiliates place tracking software on YOUR COMPUTER!

This is a fact, get the Ad-Aware and you will find out that you have these 'tracking cookies' on your computer after you visit those web sites. These can be removed. They are a betrayal of your confidence however for just a few pennies. To read more about this read PCWORLD's 'Editor's Round up's'. They will have a pop-up. Oh no! BUT getting the low down on the spy ware that web sites that supposedly talk about cactus and then try to sell you a bank loan, are doing to you, it is worth the pop-up.

BEWARE WEB SITES WITH A LOT OF ADS IN A PLACE WHERE SUPPOSEDLY ACADEMIC OR OTHER INFORMATION IS DISPLAYED. THESE ADS INVARIABLY LEAD TO OTHER WEB SITES THAT WILL PUT COOKIES AND TRACKING SOFTWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION.
