overclockers has a Data Miner Tracking Cookie everytime you come to the site.I deleted 17 of them already in one run of ad-aware.I wasn't sure where I was getting it so I went to each site I visit and sure enough it was here.Download ad-aware 6 and run it.Risk level is low but still sucks.Wasn't sure where to post it so I posted it here.
 
Check the box: "Do not accept third party cookies" and you'll be fine.

Wedo

P.s. Ad-aware 6 rocks.
 
Do you sign in everytime you come to the site or do you have your info stored?

If you delete the cookie that keeps your information then you will have to sign in when you come back.
 
It's probably for the ads used on the site. The forums also uses a couple cookies to keep track of your username, password, and other things.

If you are paranoid about it, run the AdAware AdWatch program, it will destroy those cookies.

This would probably be better placed in Forum Comments and Suggestions. If you have a question about the forums, thats where you go to get it answered.

Sometimes I feel like such a geek. Even knowing this stuff makes me cringe. That's old school geek.
