Well, advertisment is brought to you by analyzing your browser's history or something like that... The first time, I saw something from a shop, where I just ordered something I was pretty amazed, that they just at this moment pull out adds, when I decide to buy a SOFA! Even on pcgamer magzine internet pages...
...until I found out, that it is connected to your browsing habits...

Let me tell you - you are not stalked, but it is always helathy to keep some sort of paranoidism! :-D

It's not just MWO - it is google and the ad networks following your every step on the 'net :-). With cookies, super-cookies, tracking of downloaded ads and browser fingerprinting coming soon (or is it already used?) you end up having less privacy than when you go shopping on the high street...

That's not stalking... It's just advertising.

And Facebook is very good at tracking your interests, it look for what you normal search for, what site you visit often, what you post often about... etc etc... Facebook sell that data to advertising companies and thus... advertisers knew what you like, so they'd advertise you MWO.

Yes, AdBlock Plus FTW. Also... This would help a lot. If you know about host file in window to redirect IP: then this list would help. http://pgl.yoyo.org/...ostformat=hosts
