Cookies. are small files of 4kb size which a web page can deliver to you computer and are stored in the Cookies folder. These files can not be used to infect your computer with a virus and they expire automatically after a set time. It is possible to turn cookies off or restrict what web site may set them. Chatrealms uses cookies so you must accept ours or you wont be able to view this site properly or use chat rooms. You can delete all the cookies your PC collects when you surf the Internet at any time. In Internet Explorer go to the Tools menu and select internet options and find the 'delete' and 'view files' buttons.

Pop Up windows can be a problem when you're surfing the Internet and suspect web sites, especially porn sites, use them to open advertising windows. These pop-ups can be blocked easily if you have something like Yahoo Messenger Tool bar installed on your browser. We ask that you do not block our pop-ups which are delivered from www.chatrealms.com and do no more than help our pages to display their content properly.

Internet Explorer will deliver our web pages properly because the site was designed around that browser platform. Browsers such as Opera are fine but for the annoying way it deals with alt's, etc. Netscape and Firefox on the other hand are not recommended and, although these browsers will render the site reasonably well, its far from perfect and may cause some features to be unusable.

Active X controls have great advantages for interactive programmers but they may also be used by rogue add ware companies to infect your computer with persistent cookies designed to monitor your activity and force pop-up add windows. In extreme cases key-loggers can be used to collect personal information such as passwords, etc. This can be prevented however but you have to take steps to protect your computer.

Spyware can be stopped! It requires you to run a program that can block Active X controls. You can get this type of program on the Internet for little cost and even for free. A free program that has proved very good is available from Spyware-Guide (see link), from where you can get a small program to block all known "bad" Active X controls. It even blocks those your PC may already be infected with and without any loss of function.
