Unhappy

Found a reference to this site in my logs

http://wsi-ssl.sextracker.com/ (Site does NOT have explicit images, just a list of files/folders)

Anybody tell me what this is & what it does?

It keeps connecting in the middle of the night & all times of the day...

Question

Does this not track for Cookies if you have accessed p*rn, and then basically provide a nice popup advert every now and again from sites ?

Well, I've just sent an email to the people at Flying Crocodile, an ISP registered in Seattle.

They are the registrants for sextracker.com so it must be down to them.

Sextracker appears to be somesort of Adult website but no dodgy pics either

I don't like spyware if thats what this is [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Could be wrong but I thought Sextracker handled porno advertising. Adaware seems to find something from them on my machine all the time. Can't think why!!

easy way to get rid off it is to use regedit and then do a search for "sextracker" and then delete every entry that it finds.

cheers
