Why does peerguardian block apps5.oingo.com at istorya.net?

Peerguardian block a lot of apps5.oingo.com everytime I visit istorya.net. Am I right that this is google advertisement?

Hello Guenter,

Most probably google ad related.

Thanks to clarify this. So no need to be worry and continue to block this. It just slows down browsing of the forum.

Some more info:

Google does a hijack of the address bar search errors when "I'm feeling lucky" is used this is default Mozilla address bar search but also can happen with IE if I'm feeling lucky is used

The user usually thinks THEY made the mistake

The bottom line result is that google is redirecting to pay per hit sites, phoney "search" sites.
OINGO is a context sensitive redirector, it puts up what it thinks you want to see (it's also the basis of AD-Sense)
AD-Sense = ads by Goooogle give the user notice

The hijack redirect gives the user NO NOTICE
(this is NOT net.com type behaviour- it's worse)

Oingo tries to install web bugs and tracking cookies and run scripts.

yep, and owned by GOOGLE

This explains why peerguardian blocks hundred of times oingo everytime I visit istorya.net.
Unfortunately, browsing of istorya.net is almost impossible if this google sh..t (oingo) is blocked.
