Verizon spyware noptify

[Guest]

I have posted a review of a recent telephone conversation with
a representative of Verizon Wireless' President Dennis Strigl.
It summarizes Verizon's concerns about the CD-ROM tracking
software, "noptify".

As noptify is installed without the permission or knowledge of
the computer owner, it fits the definition of "spyware".

Scroll both ways from this link for more information.

Why would you say he is wrong? Many sites use cookies. Far
fewer plant tracking cookies that collect information other than
that pertaining to that specific site. I regularly block and sweep
tracking cookies. They are very much the minority in comparison
to the legitimate cookies. I suppose it depends on the type of
sites you frequent.

Run SpyBot sometime. It's free.

You'd be surprised at what you find.

Not only SpyBot but I also use the paid version
of Ad-aware. I use those in conjunction with internet
sweeper to remove stuff.

There is not a whole lot that gets on there that I
don't know about.
