Unbelievable, what about the people who had the misfortune to have the Apropos Rootkit installed by 121Media now called Phorm, looks like your still in the spyware game.

As others have stated, you have failed to answer the question regarding the cookie, will this still be on my or any other users machine, even if i(and i will)opt out.

For Phorm and the ISP`s this is about money and greed, nothing more.
