Same with me. Why does Drudge allow this? Everytime I visit his site the same garbage is put on my drive.

The advertisers do it. Drudge is just trying to make a buck through advertising, which in the past would be no great shakes, but when computers came along and people went online, advertisers thought it would be great idea to use the technology to track people - snooping really. So blame it on the parasitic ad agencies oversteping their bounds. Personally, I use FireFox. Works for now.

I'm thinking it's probably not Drudge himself but his advertisers,the guys got to make a living.If you really want to be proactive Spybot S&D running in advance mode and WinPatroll can be configured to pick this stuff up on the fly and let you delete it as you go.Note these programs can be pretty annoying themselves as they pop up a window when ever a spybot or cookie is loaded on your machine.
