FW: [MerwolfPack] OT: Yet Another Yahoo warning

["Bill Gopher" <asagiri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got this from the merwolfpack, also if you've used more than 1 browser when visiting Yahoo you have to Opt-out using each browser. So if you've used Internet Explorer and Netscape when going to Yahoo you have to visit that page twice, once for IE and once for Netscape so that you can remove the tracking bugs that are on both browsers.

Also need to OPT-OUT at Yahoo if you don't want them tracking you.  Saw this
on another ng. I did it and it removed me (my computer port number) by just
one click. Ihave more than one yahoo mail account but this tracking is used
by computer IP so whatever you do on yahoo is monitored. Here's the info
below.  (BTW, Thanks to those who posted about Ad-Ware. Had 34 in there and
find at least one or two each time I run it.)

Here's the link to opt-out:

"On theweb site you will see in the privacy statement a
reference to "Web Beacons"you need to click on the OPT-OUT button to opt-out. If
you don't Yahoo will follow you around on the Internet tracking the sites
you visit and every thing you do and sends this info back to Yahoo for
"marketing" info. This is a Web Bug. It is not cool and it is an invasion of
your privacy, but itis still legal.

All Yahoo HTML email that you receive also includes a Web Beacon
(Web Bug) this is so they can keep track of live email addy's and to see
who is opening up the email. All Commercial and HTML email you receive
has a web bug, not just that from Yahoo."

Remember: Be Nice!
