I went to accountnow.com and clicking the "free signup" button I got a warning. My browser said *.specificclick.net is using an outdated encryption method that is no longer considered secure... I wondered why a 3rd party was even involved on a "secure" page and not being secure on top of that! Scary o_O Needless to say I went elsewhere for my needs (after clearing cookies) Your blog came up in a google search on specificclick.net Very informative, TY!
