It has come to my attention that cookies are being placed by people or companies here on SOH. I posted a thread about Jump Drives in the FSX discussion forum yesterday and was asked to place it in the FSX Tweaks forum. I did this and before I left a post was made by Mr. Yo-Yo to say " I have over 200 gigs or ram, is 8 all you have"? and when I opened that thread I was hit with a Malicious site warning. This usually means that some site wants to place a tracking cookie in my computer. I can understand SOH placing a cookie with the requirement to sign-in, thats OK. But to have an individual like Mr. Yo-Yo to place one with an answer in a thread ............ WHY?
Why does he need to track me?
Is this OK with you guys? I understand that Mr. Yo-Yo is a contributor to SOH, well I am too when I can afford it. If Mr Yo-Yo has a company and has a reason to place a cookie, thats different. But to place them in a reply to a thread is not a very good reason to plant a cookie.
If I'm wrong about this I'm sure you guys will let me know.
By the way, I had to re-install Adobe Flash and remove several programs this morning that I believe were placed by Mr. Yo-Yo. I also had 83 errors in my registry after I got all the unwanted programs out.
