america visualization
« on: July 30, 2002, 12:17:00 am »

I love this visualization. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the colors on it? My default color is red. I would like to change it to blue, and as the "bar" grows more intense, change to yellow, then red.  Is this possible? I looked in the visualization studio and saw nothing obvious.

thanks,
traveler

You'll have to play around in the visualization studio.

Colors are stored in hex, like on an HTML webpage. (i.e. 0x00FF00 = green)

You'll find a hex-codes tabel.

And there you'll also find a web bug.


The Web Bug you clicked has the following characteristics:

WebBug URL: http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=76001068&t=1028256487  
Size: 1x1 pixels in size::
This web bug is extremely small suggesting an attempt to hide its presence.  
Cookie: A Cookie was set by the site sponsoring this web bug, which allows that site to corellate browser behavior.  

Note: Sometimes Web Bugs are often invisible 1x1 pixels deliberately made
        small so you cannot see them - often they are counters or other
        images compressed in size and disguised as periods.

Yves and Scronch,

Thanks for the info.

Scronch, what does it mean that there is a web bug? What is the danger?

Right Shawn,

I've ZoneAlarm installed, that's why I never saw those Web Bugs !

Shawn,

What is the difference between Zone Alarm and McAfee Firewall that comes with Vshield? Regarding Zone Alarm, which product, Zone Alarm, Plus, or Pro do you recommend? I'm running W2k Pro, soon to upgrade to XP Pro.

Thanks

>Scronch, what does it mean that there is a web bug? What is the danger?

The page you go to includes an imbedded image with a unique url, meaning the third-party server can track it.  Your browser successfully paints the imbedded image (usually 1x1 pixel), which confirms you are a viable address, and sets a cookie.  Sometimes they are able to harvest your email address using information set in cookies within your browser.  Then you get tons of spam.

Run security software.  Clear cookies often.  Delete histories often.  Delete temporary Internet files often.  Usually, the security software will have settings to do all this automatically.  You will find that a lot of pages have web bugs.
