Example....
In Google, searched for Edinboro university
On results page, clicked on the link for Edinboro University Home
www.edinboro.edu
First up was a note that 6711-1086.partners.findology.com was trying to load
a cookie. I blocked
Second up was a note that info.walden.edu (Walden University) was trying to
load a cookie. I also blocked that. However the link to Walden completed
and the website for Walden University came up.
Then I got the note that the following were trying to load cookies:
ads.revsci.net
media.adrevolver.net
At that point in time I could not use the back arrow key to get away from
the Walden University website.
Please see the following log for Hijack this that I just ran.
