Just sounds like we are being played as chumps, though that's my own personnel opinion.



Its also been mentioned here that (first post, top of page) - http://community.plus.net/forum/inde...opic=61201.112

which is why I was so very very specific in my simplistic wording of my original question relating to what data gets passed to Phorm.

So you'll will have to excuse my skepticism to the answers we've received so far as they have in no way made me feel any better about this whole affair.
That's why i don't think i will get a straight answer if any. If i do it will be a carefully worded pile of spin.

Having had a pc infected in the past with what they like to spin as adware in fact it was Spyware according to the Norton software that tried to remove it. I don't want there software anywhere near my pc or its connection.

If i don't get a answer i will take it as a confirmation that even when OPTED OUT my data WILL be tracked but i just will not see the adds. I will then disconnect all my service to VM and get a bt phone line, Sky TV and BE for my Internet. That's a lot of money that Virgin Will lose from me. I think it will be more than what they would have made selling my private information to Phorm. aka 121 media
