Comment on XP vrs. Vista, Netstat Tools! by IanV

You are not using the correct switches in netstat in Vista to get the information you require.
First off, the -v switch is obscelete and does nothing so you are wasting your time typing that in.
use the -f switch to show the complete domain name of the remote computer and use -o to show the process ID of the executable that createde the connection, this can be traced easily in task managers process view to the actual file responsible.

Comment on Screw Google or Scroogle by Scroogle Scraper

Scroogle’s a step in the right direction though. There are many flawed arguments against retaining privacy like “why do you need to worry about privacy if you have nothing to hide?” The same can go for Google though, in the sense of “why should Google catalog who searches what when it doesn’t need to?” and that sort of deal. Domestic spying is nothing more than Fascism piled under weak excuses and it’s about time it stops before even more impressionable people start to think it’s a good idea.

Thanks for the comments. cogipas.com is certainly worth a visit for those new to the concept of Internet privacy and who would like to avoid embarrassment or jail.

As to admsupport, You seem to be way ahead of me in privacy concepts.

I too had my internet connection transmitting when I was using it. Traced to these assholes at mxphaseit.com. These data mothers need their assholes kicked across the country. The feds are just a bunch of paranoid snoops that are worried too many of us have figured out they are just the mafia using strongarm techniques to maintain their power. And they wonder why so many hate them?

You the man! This is exactly the problem with these “features”: they provide a false sense of security. If you search through your registry – http://cogipas.com/hard_drive_files/registry_tracks_1.html – you may also find lots of similar goodies. More basic info at http://cogipas.com/hard_drive_files/basics.html for those that are not as adanced as our friend here.

Comment on Cookies – Be Careful What You Eat! by Just Me

Not all the SPYWARE and snooping devices being put on your hard drive is being done by so-called hackers; much of it is being done by seemingly reputable companies like Adobe/macromedia and sites that use their Flash Player, like youtube.com. If you use Flash Player, you probably have multiple Flash Cookies (also known as Local Shared Objects) on your machine and don’t even know it.

Flash Player cookies are dangerous and invasive. Many of them store extremely detailed personal info about your hard drive and machine, including your computer name and file directory paths, as well as what sites you visit, what you do there, etc. The Flash Player Cookies are not brief snippets of info like regular browser cookies; some are unbelievably long and most of them are accessible ACROSS DOMAINS.

Changing settings in the so-called Settings Manager at the Adobe site does NOT keep Flash Cookies
off your hard drive. We’ve told Flash NOT to store cookies repeatedly, but it keeps doing so anyway.

Adobe makes it difficult if not impossible to even understand HOW to disable the Flash Cookies function. On their site/Setting Manager there is NOTHING after you change settings to indicate whether the settings have been SAVED or not.

Most web-surfers probably have hundreds of Flash Cookie “Shared Objects” on their machines and do not realize it. Just do a search for *.sol on your hard drive. You’ll be amazed & chagrined to see all the secret Flash Cookies on your machine. Even if you delete them manually, they will be reset next time you visit a site like youtube.com or any of the many news-sites that utilize Flash.

People should be complaining loudly to Adobe/macromedia and insist that they issue a patch for FlashPlayer that puts ALL AUTHORITY strictly into the hands of the end-user for managing, deleting, and blocking ALL Flash Cookies and doing so PERMANENTLY.

Thanks for listening. Now please contact Adobe and sincerely and fervently request the above changes, for all our sakes. For Adobe to be doing this surreptitious cookieing behind our backs is dishonest and reprehensible. It needs to STOP!

Please also educate all your friends & family about these invasive Flash Cookies. Thanks again.
