What is 'ad.yieldmanager.com'?

Question

When I run Ad-Aware scan there is always a lot of entries for this cookie....what is it and how do I get rid of it or do I need to get rid of it?   My PC is XPS410, OS is Windows Vista Home Premium and I have Norton Internet Security.   Thanks, Pamela

I think quite a few sites use that. If you use Firefox, the plugin, 'No-Script', can block it. As I was using PhotoBucket a few minutes ago, I noticed that ad.yieldmanager was being blocked.

if you're using Internet Explorer [6 under XP... I would assume it's similar for 7 and/or Vista], click on

TOOLS

INTERNET OPTIONS

PRIVACY

SITES (older versions may say EDIT web sites)

and then type-in the cookie you want to keep away (e.g., yieldmanager.com )

then click on

BLOCK

OK
