Sitemeter Sells Out to Spyware

Just a quick note to all of you out there, I know alot of you including myself use sitemeter to track your site stats. I was just on my blog updating and such and I kept getting some sort of error message that my page could not be displayed. I searched for this message and it seems that sitemeter is adding tracking cookies which are spyware to sites that use their counter. I just removed sitemeter from my blog, I pay for their service and was just to go on their site to cancel it and obviously I can't get on! So as I write this I'm scanning my computer for spyware. So heads up folks!

  1. The exact same thing happened to me about a month ago. I took it off and put Google Analytics on. So annoying!
