[OPLINTECH] Excite.com Question

[Mindy Holmes]

I had a patron today who tried to sign into his Excite.com account.  Our
computers gave him an error message stating that the privacy settings needed
to be set lower to accept the cookies from Excite.com.  The only setting
that would allow access to Excite.com was "Accept all cookies".  I am not
comfortable with that setting.  I then noticed that Excite.com was listed in
the Sites section as "always block".  This appears to be a default setting
in IE.  Here are my questions:

 

  Is Excite.com notorious for spyware/malware?  Is that why it is blocked in
the default
settings?

 

  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  If so, what did you do?

 

Thanks for your input,
