With IE6.0 I use a custom xml file rather than the native settings, for all
but Trusted Zone sites (and the IE5 tool to add sites to Trusted Zone if required). Otherwise it's first party, session cookies only unless in Restricted Zone (in which case it's "no way Jose!"). The only long-term cookie I have on this machine is for Microsoft.com. Shane "Rick T" wrote in message ... A quick Google (k I actually use AltaVista but that's not a verb yet) seems to show it as being present in such sites as MSN, etc. While MSN is sortof on my "do not visit" list, I'd hardly consider it a "shady" site. Depends where you draw your line. I like to draw mine at originator, ie: any site I visit can set cookies, but not secondary sites. Rick Shane wrote: Actually there are a no. of otherwise innocuous sites that use the AvenueA cookie. Personally I feel that the only reason to avoid such sites is *because* they use third-party tracking cookies and insist you accept them. There is no reason to uninstall Spybot S&D. The AvenueA blocking (in this case) is done by the real-time bad download blocking component (S&D Helper? As opposed to Tea Timer) and it should be disabled (permanently, IMO. With Spybot S&D I see no need for any more than unchecking all in *Ignore products* and hitting Immunise in *Immunise*. Spywareblaster does a better job at other blocking and even there I see no need for more than just hitting *enable all protection*). Shane "oops!!" wrote in message ...

Eileen,
When you open Spybot S&D it will be in *default mode*. The Settings button is only available in advanced. So, open Spybot, click Mode, select Advanced. In the left pane, click Settings, then Ignore Products, then in the right-pane that opens right-click and in *All Products* select *Deselect All*. Then in Cookies, select *Avenue A, inc*. If this isn't enough, post back and we'll go further. But this should be the quickest way to enable Avenue A, and ought to work regardless of what other settings you have enabled. I have to say, though, there are many good sources of scientific knowledge on the web, most of which do not require surrendering your privacy to advertisers. Shane "Eileen" wrote in message ...

Shane,
Thanks. I gather that you don't recommend deselecting Avenue A. Will print out the instructions and will hold off for a while and see if it affects any of my other sites.

Shane,
I looked at encyclopedia.com... unless their owner Shane wrote: Eileen, When you open Spybot S&D it will be in *default mode*. The Settings button is only available in advanced.

It's not all that obvious on that site... source is strictly highbeam.com but in a javascript there's a tracking pixel. Looks like they hijacked a doubleclick script Rick Shane "Eileen" wrote in message ... I am Spybot illiterate.
