Tired of obtaining low numbers of useless traffic for your site? Well i want to inform you of a fresh underground tactic which makes myself $900 per day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I could truthfully be here all day and going into detail but why dont you simply check their website out? There is a great video that explains everything. So if your seriously interested in making effortless hard cash this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

Thanks Ed! Hopefully, they will fix it, so that the opt out on the website is a true optout. The annoying thing about the soft opt out besides everything else that I mentioned above is that the soft opt out is only per browser – meaning that you have to opt out again when you use another browser. Not a big deal once you know what the story is, but still seemingly unnecessary.

Thanks for this information because I. like you have experience being redirected to search results instead of google. This will help me.

Yeah, and using windows 7, with e.g. CCleaner to keep it clean, or even just deleting your ‘browsing history’ in firefox and including cookies, you cannot add an exception to the deletion of just this cookie, because it is stored in:

C:\Users\df\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\vkirxnzh.default

in an “cookies.sqlite” file! Bogued!

Check out my second post on this problem where I give the solution:
http://blog.edhayes.us/2009/08/10/fixed-rcn-hijacking-mistyped-urls/

You can E-mail Help_Me_RCN@RCN.net to hard opt out of PoxFire. The method you listed is just a soft opt out based on a cookie. And as you said, It really is not a full opt out.

Hope that helps!
