Scorecard Research?
As I was replying to a thread, an ad popped up, well actually rolled down my entire screen with "Scorecard Research" as the title. Closed it out and went for a search.
What's going on ATS? Have you enrolled in this or is it maybe something I picked up from somewhere else?

Click its gone!
But, it can be picked up again, in other forms elsewhere. so... Bah, why bother, there is no anonymity on the internet anyway...

Sweet!
Thanks for that...
But, it has never happened anywhere else and it has happened twice now on ATS.
Curious?

Don't know, are you implying that ATS is installing malicious cookies in your browser?
Really, b.scorcardresearch can be picked up ANYWHERE!
If you clicked the opt out link, you shouldn't see it again.
May even notice a nice improvement in the speed of your computer when you do.

I did read it, I was just asking... It can be picked up anywhere, not sure why it is legal for such a beacon to be installed in people's browsers without them knowing about it... Various ads may trigger the drop in window ad you seen, it can track and collect your web browsing activity, and apparently can't be removed or detected by internet security systems... The only way to get rid of it is to click that opt out link IF you have it on your system.
Sorry, just trying to help.

No problem...just a misunderstanding.
And yes, it is an invasion of privacy in the truest sense of the term. Why is it legal for a 3rd party to invade my private PC?
And apparently it's in accordance with the US Dept. of Commerce (or so it states on the site)
The reason I posted it here is that it's a first for me and has never happened anywhere on the net...Only ATS. I have had a lot of these and so have many others but never on ATS.
Gotta ask right?
Thanks again,
Peace
