Quite true.  I did not forget, but 'adserv' is pretty proliferate over the WEB, along with 'doubleclick'.

I figure people visiting the above site, will no doubt see similar sites increasing the odds of being tracked.

Here's the trick... If you have a router, find the screen or page for blocked sites and add adserv, doubleclick and any other data miners to the list.

Parents use it in a desperate and futile attempt to keep teenage boys from finding porn on the internet, but it works wonders at stopping advertisements.

Skuzzy...I for one appreciate the fact that you are pointing this stuff out to posters here.

I don't click links anymore...I've innocently done so in the past and totally filled my computer at home with adware/spyware AND worms and trojans to the point at which I had to have the machine rebuilt.

Of course, anyone with a good software firewall can do this even easier just by configuring it to block 3rd party cookies.  Those are the ONLY ones that are risky in any fashion.  To be clear, that risk is defined as 'they can track your progress across other websites that use the same 3rd party advertising'.

This is one of many things that a software firewall can do that a hardware one cannot because it can monitor a specific web browsing session.  

Another thing a software firewall can do is prevent un-approved applications from transmitting information outwards.  A hardware router/firewall cannot protect you from spyware/malware if it's using normal channels (eg, http) to send and receive instructions.

Just an FYI.  For the record, I am no longer in charge of Norton Internet Security.
