That damned elusive ‘malicious’ software
April 26th, 2008The Spy Doctor says that the suspect software on my computer, removed last night, was a program called Tracking Cookies and another called Adware Advertising. So far as I can glean from the log these programs were monitoring the statistics for my website.
That does not strike me as particularly dangerous.
But maybe it conflicts with Google’s Adsense, which I attempted to sign up for some months ago but was frustrated by the complicated instructions. Or maybe, what Google does not like about my site is the content of the words I write.
I shall continue to try and get some answers. But it may take weeks. Meanwhile I have something to say about Google from a general perspective, which is best done in a separate blog.
