Jupiter Media Up To There Good Ol' Tricks

:o Looks Like Jupiter Media Is Up To There Ol' Tricks Again....I just ran ad-aware and to my surprise....tracking cookies I never received from this site before plaguing my computer. 5 Marked Jupiter media and one Marked AntiOnline...Since I cant be exactly sure what they were looking to track...maybe someone representing Jupiter Media could explain this. Next time I will not let this automaticly destroy **** it finds so I can prod around Jup's implant into my machine. Has anyone else happened to find these tracking cookies? Im sure atleast one other person has atleast one of them. Maybe nows a good time to scan. :confused:

I use Spybot S&D and I didn't find any spyware on my box

I just ran Adaware 6 with the latest updates, and i have turned up nothing.

Don't we all get a cookie just for logging in? ;)

yup...all cookies are not bad. Its third party cookies and cookies with a personal id, like your cpu tag, that you have to watch out for.

i watch for this stuff every where i go and ive yet to see it here.

It's funny how this whole JupMedia thing has exploded into all kinds of maddness.

heh

heh indeed.....

It's funny how *lots* of little things can turn into madness. Wouldn't you say?

if i recall correctly the privacy policy linked to below it states that JUPM will track you within the JUPM network. or internet.com network. or something to that effect. but it may have been changed as these things do and i do not intend or reading it again.

so most links provided by the JUPM reps have been for sites owned by themselves in some way.

you may have stumbled across others. ``they'' probably know if you did whereas you do not.

Ran Spybot S&D twice, once logged onto AO and once not. Neither time did I find anything that had to do w/ AO or JupM.

I don't care, I will continue to come back anyway, I'm just to addicted.

This is called the AO-Postwhore-cookie-flambitis....

ooooo a coookie with my password hash..... And please don't think i am stupid enough to leave the proper hash in there...

Thats everything I see comming from AO...so unless jupiter has found a way to hide cookies....

Well...I cant explain it, they turned up for me and I run Ad-Aware 6 Plus

And well...They werent normal Cookies you get for visiting a site

hah, good insite souleman... thanks....

yes jupmedia definately needs to explain this.... and im wondering WHY we havent heard from them... i have some free time tomorrow im going to make a phone call to them

umm...what is it exactly that you'd like explained? You have several members who have run the same spyware detector and found no results, members who have run a different spyware detector and found no results, and soule posted the damn code for the cookies.....I really don't know what needs to be explained, obviously the f00 person was...mistaken.

you want to post the code for 1 or 2 of these cookies? how are jupiter media cookies marked? jupiter.com? what is it..I'm really curious now.

are you sure you haven't been visiting other internet.com related sites... maybe they are from there.

or maybe your IE settings are messed up... you should have it set so it only recieves cookies from sites that you visit.

/me puts on his tin-foil skull cap (so JupMed can't zap me via my monitor with a mind control ray) and begins surfing thru the waves of paranoia and BS running rampant on the site.......

At the bottom of each page, there are five links. Clicking one of them would be a good idea.

there is actually 6 ;)

I'm sorry, my English is a bit rusty... it's been a while since I was in the States :p

For some reason I'm not feeling the love here!!! Heh. :D

Some one 'splain why this is an issue..so they use cookies for authentication and what not...big deal....hell some of the ads the yhave may have cookies in them also...I get more blocked cookies from the adds on fark and securityfocus...face it folks if a site wants to survive on the net it needs to make money, they make money by either chargeing for membership or selling adds, and add companies some like to track customers, if you don't like it stop useing the net.

I ran Aluria's spyware/adware and found nothing from Jupiter or AO. Just the inevitable Gator and other Misc. crap.

Try looking at your site options...

Automatically login when you return to the site? (uses cookies) yes no Browse board with cookies?
Clicking yes will use cookies to keep your id for this session. Clicking no will send it through the links. (Selecting no may cause problems when sharing links with people behind the same proxy as you) yes no

OMG...cookies!!

You can of course turn it off if you want, but it is pretty annoying...

No tricks.

Just read the privacy policy which has a link on every page. The bulletin board software sets a cookie to track your account. And the ad server, like most ad servers on the Internet, uses cookies as part of its delivery.

But you knew that already, didn't you?

I doubt it. He seemed more like a newbie that saw everyone and there ****ing brother jump on your asses and get APs for it and joined in. I was a good boy and stayed out of it for a long time because its none of my business. But this is just pathetic.

Hahaha, I agree.

Who really cares, it's a cookie. They use it to better the sight and to gather business related statistics and data. JM and Antionline are MONEY MAKING ventures.

If your really that worried about cookies and want to do something about it please read on here:
