I would like to inform you the web master and all others on this site and splitlink I have had software from this site and/or splitlink place a cookie that puts information off my computer to their's; not the host site but another.


The sites I have found on my computer are in the form of cookies. They are in the form of, the name of my computer and lets say my name is "fred", it was found as such:- fred@atdmt(3).txt it was from "atdmt.com"



The other one was from "mediaplex.com" and read as:-
fred@mediaplex(2).txt
please all be careful
I have used a free spyware download to find these cookies, it is called "spyware doctor" by PC Tools. I would advise anyone to use it and purchase a spyware detector software if you use the net even for a SPLITLINK second.

Please remember you can have all sorts of personal banking and other details on your computer BE AWARE;;;;;
Why does Spyware and Adware affect every internet user?

· Your personal information can be sold to other parties without your knowledge or consent
· Your default homepage and settings can be hijacked so you can't
change them
· These malicious components not only invade your PC so they can not be removed, but take up your hard drive space and slow down your PC!
