yep I hate being spyed upon! really do. anyone you deal with is doing that now and it's supposed to be to your benefit!! nope, just makes me mad!
I will say though something odd happened one day after shopping at Best Buy and talking to a salesman about getting a CD player for my van. didn't buy one nor give my name. later that day I got an email saying someone was trying to buy two CD players on my credit card. That was a virus email, not true at all but very odd indeed!

Oh no, you wrote the "p" word. It might send you weird stuff now just for having typed it... :-))

I have Firefox with Adblocker Plus and I don't have any of these problems. No popups. No ads on the QB except a little one for Paper Pieceing Basics.

I sent my BFF a recipe for brown bread-it was tracked by the internet police. My DH works for IBM and is a nerd-tells me everything is tracked. I hate it-so much for freedom and big brother.
