Robbing our privacy

[Douw]

Financial sites seems to be the biggest culprits in planting (legal?) spy and tracking software on our PC's. Visiting a few financial sites can easily end up in having up to 10 or more undesirable objects planted on the hard drive. These not only slow down the PC, they also eat expensive data via informational messages, routed from the PC back to these sites. Of course it is difficult to estimate the danger of security breaches of the objects, but I do remove them on a daily basis from my PC by scanning with McAffee or clearing the internet cache regularly. The Yahoo anti spy program is also very convenient in finding and removing them. One can maybe live with harmless(?) spyware, but I would hate it if any Tom ***** and Harry know what is in my Favourites and history lists.
