Spyware is like a tracking cookie isn't it? or am i wrong?

Either way, does the Ghostery add on for Firefox stop those things?... it says is is currently blocking 4 items, but then quite a lot of sites seem to have 1-4 of these things.

Anyhoo, I haven't had a Virus/Spyware warning or anything like that since back in Christmas 2007 when the website kept being attacked (it went down for about 2 days, and for 2 weeks after that I got virus warnings)



I experienced this yesterday, luckly, it triggered something in my IE that made it shutdownthe site.



computer freezes sometimes when im on this site....kind of worried



I have Firefox with the NoScript addon.

So it blocks all other scripts except for VGChartz, it blocks all the ads and stuff that could potentially harm your computer.
I love this addon.

It's the ads, you'd be surprised how much malware is hidden with ads. Firefox + Noscript = no problems.

Yep :)

NoScript is a gift from god.

It certainly is, anyone not using Firefox + Noscript needs to make that change asap.



Heh, I remember using Google Chrome and right when I entered this site, I was redirected somewhere else warning me that vgchartz.com contained spyware. I shat myself.



I don't think I've ever gotten that problem.
