Gentlemen,
Something VERY suspicious came up when I accessed the above site.
While my PC was in the process of downloading the article from ARMY TIMES
. COM
my 'Bugnosis' sub-routine kicked in to inform me that there were
non-standard cookies or 'Web Bugs' included in the stream.
Besides Norton Anti-virus I also have BUGNOSIS in my system which
checks for web bugs instead of trojans or viruses'. Copied below is the
screen print that Bugnosis posted. Could some of you mil-veh software
gurus please confirm, or deny that ARMY TIMES . COM included tracking
bugs on their web-site ?
