19. Beats me. Apparently it's the OP's secret code for "That's for me to know and you to find out"...
   
... or possibly the code means "All the rest of you are fools for not knowing already." Hard to engage with that, so I'm going away too.

21. Interesting. I can only guess that it can only follow links
   
that originate on DU, so that it could be used for Affiliate tracking, that sort of thing.

I highly doubt that it can follow you around the net from either other browser windows or even if same window, URLs accessed via (non-DU) bookmarks or URLs just typed in.

Although I could be wrong, but I just can't see how it could do it.

Anyone?

I do not doubt the intrusion is attached to DU,...it popped up up my screen. I decided to take a look at it.

IT is an invasive attachment,...and anounces itself as such to our own government (and anyone else who will BUY).

Oh,...I suppose I am just being "paranoid" and all that.

PLEASE,...forgive me.

26. Wiki was not the only place I looked
   
It seems to be a (log parser for a) proxy cache of some sort, but if you know more than we do, why not enlighten us?

Does that command you cited, at DU logon, do something that enables DU to follow one around the net?

I have a vague sense of what it does, but would like to understand this technology more -- for while I dno't really mind if DU follows me around, I DO mind if other websites have that capability.

Sounds like someone picked up some spyware on their computer checking out www.farmanimalporn.com late at night.
