FWIW, I recently replaced my pc with a new one, on 5/5. I purchased ZoneAlarm Security Suite to use for virus/firewall, etc. protection. This program has a feature called MyVault that protects your personal info(passwords, pins, etc.) when you have to use them online and only allows that info to be sent to sites you designate. After programming that feature, I got an alert asking if I wanted to send my SS# to atwola.com which is a major internet adware outfit owned by AOL/TimeWarner. At the time, all I was doing was catching up on posts here on Agora. I didn't think to much about it but tonight I just got on here for the seconfd time today and was reading posts when I got a second alert asking if I wanted to send my SS# to ad.doubleclick.net. The only online function I use that info for is my bank and it is the only site I've authorized to receive it. Agora is the only site I've been on when getting these alerts. So be aware.

FYI..I get the same spy cookies...AOL/TWarner and Agora are friendly with each other.
SPY SWEEPER (info from jwperk) gets it out.
The Drudge Report nails you also with spyware.
