When I try to load: http://www.foxnews.com my browser gets hung up on: start-up on "secure-us.imrworldwide.com"
When I did page source and a search this site is an online census in their startup and it's affecting how http://www.foxnews.com loads.... and like a lot of folks I don't like any "census" being done without my asking.. Anyone else see this??

Try clearing your Web browser’s cookies.
Looks like ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO Nielsen! :-)
Mine works okay. You might have a virus or a firewall problem, though............
Did you just return from Thailand? This sounds series.
It’s real and shows up in the lower left of Firefox when loading. I have Clear Private Data running on Firefox and it clears eveything everytime I shutdown including cahe, cookies, passwords etc. PCTOOLS Spyware says the computer is clean.. the script in the post is out of the Page Source for Foxnews.
I sent an email to FoxNews for what that’s worth.. and this is the only website it pops up on.
Just found it: It’s a normal tracking cookie (imrworldwide) by Nielsen NetRatings Ad company:... issue is it’s not a cookie that stays on your computer it checks to see which ad’s while you’re at on a particular website... i.e FoxNews for now.
Could you do me a favor click on foxnews, then do a “page source” under view on Firefox and/or click “source” under view on I.E. and do a search on “nielsen” and see if you see it? It’s on both FF & IE on my computer. Maybe it’s dependent on the area you live in...
Thanks
I have IE and it shows up in the source code for the foxnews.com page.
Thanks.... appreciate the feedback.
Doesn’t show up on mine...............;^)
