    If you're worried about the "tribalfusion tracking cookie"... thats actually just there to stop you getting the same ad twice. ITS NOT INFRINGING YOUR PRIVACY!! Even thought ad-aware picks up cookies, not all cookies are bad!

    I have a feeling this will get closed quite soon.

    It is more accurate to say the YOU are the problem with Spam – than Tribal Fusion is the problem for Spyware.

    All ad companies have the ability to run pop under code. Its part of the business and is a valid advertising media- they have codes for it. Because an ad company has the ability to run pop-unders does not make them a spyware company.

    We at MajorGeeks DO NOT run pop under ads although we have the option to. We give up literally thousands of dollars a month NOT to. When the last time you voluntarily took a pay cut to help your friend, genius?

    Not all pop-unders are bad BTW, they got a bad rap because of adware companies that force them down your throat, with malware. This is why we did away with them a long time ago. Tribal fusions network, would NEVER allow this and will only allow those who run pop under ads (if they chose) to run 1 per day per person. Period.

    On the subject of cookies – it has become vogue to block them as trackers and quite frankly that is ridiculous. In the case of Tribal Fusions, tracking cookies are only for the delivery of the best ad it the right format and time, other wise you would see the same thing over and over. It is also used for geo-targeting and that sort of thing. They do not collect any of the data. So blocking it is to the users’ disadvantage. Let’s say a site has popunder code loaded for every 24 hours, that is tracked by a cookie – if you kill it, the advertiser doesn’t know you have seen the ad and you get a pop every page… Then guys like this go and blame everyone else.

    Anyhow I could go on, but a s KODO pointed out it is pointless – this guy wouldn’t get it – but I thought the rest of you might find it interesting - but I 100% stand by what I said.
    Let suffice to say that – Golly gee wiz, de-bunker – I guess we do practice what we preach,. Now turn off your computer – unplug it, and go watch Oprah because it is not safe out here. I hope debunking is not you day job.
