block redsheriff?

[Mercon Weeks]

Is there any way to block redsheriff without turning off Java, which I've
done. I'm using win98se. IE6.0 and found that neither Zone Alarm nor cookie
pal would keep redsheriff away! I learned about redsheriff when a cookie
showed up on my computer (cgi-bin.com). I tried to eleminate it with cookie
pal but it didn't work. When I cleared all of my temporary files this
cookie remained, forcing me to delete it manually. The cookie was placed by
imrworldwide and a little detective work brought me to redsheriff.

The way I like to block persistent cookies is to place them in my Restricted
Zone via Internet Options/Security/Restricted Sites/Sites(button) and enter:
"*://*.redsheriff.com" without the quotes. I don't remember if that
particular one is at .com or .net without looking it up. Works like a
champ, and only have to enter a couple new ones a month. I don't like using
cluttered hosts lists with info in there I will never need to block.

Hi Jeff,

Fancy meeting you here

There's a Reg hack called "IE-SPYAD" which puts sites in the Restricted Zone.

Here's the discussion that ensued:
http://www.net-integration.net/cgi-b...ST;f=37;t=4105

This is exclusive of block Red Sheriff, btw. I'm having a bit of a <blank> as to
what more to comment on Red Sheriff at the moment.

If you *really* need to know, I can dig something up.

Regards,

Hi Silj, I don't need any info on it, but thanks. I remember blocking it
once on ME, but haven't ran across it for awhile. I'll take a glance at
IE-Spyad. I've been meaning to just make my own reg file to quickly put
sites in, but only need to do so few, I haven't bothered yet. I personally
don't like entering huge lists when I only need to block certain cookies
from sites I or other users normally visit during their sessions. Just one
of those personal choices I suppose.

Hi Jeff,

Here's something similar to IE-Spyad, you *may* be interested.
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm

I use it but don't rely on it other than for putting tokens and URL's in
Restricted Sites. If you'd like a peek, be my guest

Nice of you to drop by...
