i think what a lot of people do not understand is that when cookies and malware are downloaded onto your computer to generate profits that those downloads download other malware that mine your computers.. a good example it go to Inquirer or PhilStar with malware protection turned on... i use ghostery.. and it will block 10 or so downloads.. but turn off your protection.. and it will bloom to over a hundred.. i think one time it reached 142 installation of malware on my computer.. and that is the only reason i keep ghostery ON... otherwise my computer operates at the speed of night and everyone in the world has they hands down my pants...
