I keep getting error messages from Mozilla:
The operation timed out when attempting to
contact view.atdmt.com
Evidently this is a connection to an advertizer on financial &
investing websites. A check
of Netcraft shows that Netcraft was able to contact them. Anyway I
deleted the cookie
but the message still occurs when I visit financial websites, (Bloomberg
<http://www.bloomberg.com/>, CNN Money <http://money.cnn.com/>)
Apparently the process that plants the cookie has a life of its own
even when the
URL is dead. Has anyone else seen this?
Cheers,
Erich
