Um, I thought the point of AllAdvantage was to records your browsing habits and send it off to their people to analyze. This is from their web page: "As you surf, it creates a member profile that describes your unique interests and preferences." What did you think they were doing? Nobody gives away _free_ money. If someone is trying to give you _free_ money, it is best not to trust them. «»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» Eric Hacker, MCSE, CCSE hacker () vudu net Hacker is my real name.

Are they gathering valuable marketing information from each and every All Advantage user? It wasn't until my Peer installed the new AllAdvantage Bar that they caught him. Of course cheating is wrong but so is recording web browsing habits among other things, sending the details to their people to analyze. I am sure that AllAdvantage wants to leverage direct marketing by detecting what sites people goto and rightfully showing them an appropriate ad. Anyone got a good network analyzer who wants to extract what data is sent to/from the AllAdvantage client? -Derek
