Default Xolox and "trusted third party" partners

THis might be old (2-3 weeks) news, but after not using Xolox for a couple of weeks I D/L'ed 1.20. First thing I noticed when I launched it was a fastclick server was trying to connect with my system. After I delt with the Fast Click intrusion and verified the server in question was properly blocked, I noticed the nice banner sized window; usually filled with the Xolox logo now had the upper left corner "red-x" place holder. A quick chck showed the place holder was the result of the blocked fast click intrusion. Ad-supported is fine (everybody wants to try and make money), lord knows I'm not going to make a donation. Ad-supported was how several (not always P2P) applications started the slide to spyware. I don't know what data fast click tries to collect, but Ad-Aware will nail any fastclick stuff if you have allowed it on your system. Me I just point all Fast Click servers at ye ole' 127.0.0.1 and never worry about what they try and get.
