just read a report that yahoo is spying on its registered users no matter which download you view from,google ,or whatever you use to search the web on

read yahoo,s new privacy report,scroll down to cookies section,then read where it says yahoo is using web beacons to monitor your viewing.
where it says, outside yahoo network, click it and you will see an opt out button
click this to opt out of their viewing you, but do not click the pop up that says restore opt out or cancel opt out

Google's been doing this for years (with a cookie that lasts for 38 years..... Look @ http://www.gmail-is-too-creepy.com/ which will tell you a little of Google policies and how to sort-of get round their tracking;).



We're also blocking the "auto links" feature of Google's tool bar on all web sites we own/manage due to it stealing content! Further details (for those who own their own web sites/domain - and are worried about content theft) visit http://www.searchguild.com/tpage19006-0.html.

yahoo also pass on your details to interested 3rd parties it does however spell this out before you register i've used yahoo for 10 years.
