My firewall keeps indicating attempts at unauthorised access from an unknown application in my own PC while I'm on PPRuNe. It doesn't happen on other sites. Ad-Aware reports the source as a 'cookie' from valueclick. When I open the cookie, the code includes my e-mail address. Valueclick are known to Ad-Aware and are listed as an innocent cookie that simply gathers information on the number of visits made to a site, so this may actually be a spoofing or disguise address. Naughty cookie eh? I assume it comes from one of the banner ads.
