Here's the answer from smni dot com:

Hello,


There is a button on our privacy policy that allows you to install an opt-out cookie on your computer:


http://www.smni.com/ui/privacy.asp


This opt-out cookie works with all publishers that use our ad code to call ads. There are certain instances, where our publishing partner do not use our ad code -- our opt-out cookie will not prevent an ad from being displayed in these instances. We have a strict policy of one ad per person per publisher per day. The publishers that do not use our ad code are more difficult to monitor.


It could be that you have some adware installed on your computer that calls ads, regardless of your opt-out status. You could remove the adware, or run some kind of program that scans your computer for adware and enables you to remove it. If you would like, we can help you further if you can do the following. I have tested this with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6:


1) After you receive our pop-under ad, go to www.smni.com


2) In the address bar, type:


javascript:document.writeln(document.cookie)


and then push enter. You will see something like this on the screen:



cnt=c1440413322=1&c410761315=1&c990212837=2&c74690988=3; pat=c1440413322=2413&c410761315=2401&c990212837=793&c74690988=2192; date=c1440413322=1%2F28%2F2003+11%3A03%3A01+AM&c990212837=1%2F22%2F2003+1%3A21%3A59+PM&c410761315=1%2F24%2F2003+10%3A21%3A45+AM&c74690988=1%2F27%2F2003+1%3A36%3A32+PM; po=c1440413322=1016015020&c410761315=222344829&c990212837=222344829&c74690988=53547644; POD=P53547644=17394996&P222344829=17391622&P1016015020=17397423&ck=1



Copy it and paste it into an email back to us. We'll look at it, and isolate the publisher, and help you stop receiving these ads. Again, our intent is not to bombard you with ads that you don't want to see. Please contact me if you have any questions.

P.S. You should be able to delete our cookie too.

And, here is the one from the other guy at tribalfusion dot com:

You should be able to delete any of our cookies as they are
no different from other cookies. If you go into the Cookies folder,
you should be able to delete our cookie.


However, once you have deleted our cookie, we will assume you are
new to our ad server and when you visit a site with our ads, our adserver
will save another cookie. Maybe - this is what
you mean by not being able to delete our cookie.


Anyway, hope that helps

I will look over what you all wrote and what they say and see if I can figure it out.

Thanks ya'll...kat
