Title: In the "I was in Tesco" thread?
Post by: Debs. on 28 October 2010, 12:18:32

.....at the page footer (where usually it says "Done") I get a flickering "im.shoppingbank.com"......I`m guessing (perhaps) it`s because an avatar is being hosted there 'offsite'; but might it also be spyware? :-/

I get that too. Wonder what it is?  :-? :-?

It's trying to load an avatar image from there, I believe.

It's Del Boy's avatar.

Is that avatar loading for you?

I blocked it here because the site hosting it didn't accept OOF as a referrer and I got fed up with it. ::) (although now I can see it, I suspect only because I went there to see what they are about)

Nothing sinister, as far as I can see.

Thanks for the explanation, Kevin.
No, it doesn`t load for me and times-out after 30 seconds (or so).....I was just concerned that it might be spyware, what with seeing the 'shoppingbank' reference. ;)
