I use SuperAntiSpyware and SystemMechanic (Iolo) to provide my computer protection from spoofing and viruses. HOWEVER, I have determined that when I login to AARP games, suddenly my E-Mail Inbox is inundated with Spam about caregivers, sex inhancers, etc. etc. I have loaded Firefox and placed AdBloc on it. Guess what? Many of the games on AARP will not work if you have AdBloc on. Meaning that SOMEONE with AARP is getting paid or kick-backs for allowing people to invade your computer with Adware/Tracking Cookies. That does not settle with me well, as we pay an annual fee for the privilege of "membership". I feel like I am getting the shaft. Unless more "members" complain about this invasion of privacy, AARP will continue to expose us. Anyone else notice the large number of spam in their inbox after playing AARP games? Sometimes, I get 25 spams and tracking cookies after only being on their website for 30 minutes.
