Someone sent this to me about information gathered by Yahoo and a way to opt
out -- Joyce

=====
Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" to track Yahoo Group users
around the net and see what you're doing and where you are going similar to
cookies. Yahoo is recording every website and every group you visit.

Take a look at their updated privacy statement:
(http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy)

About half-way down the page, in the section on cookies, you will see a link
that says web beacons.

Click on the phrase web beacons.

That will bring you to a paragraph entitled "Outside the Yahoo Network." In
this section you'll see a little "click here to opt out" link that will let
you opt-out of their new method of snooping.

Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted.

Notice the "Success" message on the top of the next page.

Be careful because on that page there is a "Cancel Opt-out" button that, if
clicked, will *undo* the opt-out.

Thank you, Joyce!
I've forwarded this on to our local group(s).

Thanks, Joyce! I've followed your instructions. I've also passed them
on to all my other Yahoo groups.

Yes, thanks for the info!!

And, along those lines, we recently downloaded for free SpyBot to
cleanse our computer of Spywares. (We had 29!!) It came highly
recommended, and was able to easily remove all except for one, a
DSO Exploit which keeps popping up every time I run it. If anyone
has any insight on this, I sure would appreciate it as I don't like
being 'spied' on.
