What is this for and why are they connecting to my PC? I have read spyware and web page design and web hosting. Does anyone know for sure?
alot of the adds you see on web pages are being loaded by "them" , and unlike ad.doubleclick.com, if you block them, the page will not load, from what I've read. unless you use something like dnskong.
