> Looks like part of the fix for slow-loading MacFixIt Archive pages is still there (last line).

Thanks.

I remember inserting that line way before the MFIA issue reared its ugly head (and I guess I now know why I never tripped over it) in connection, I believe, with an MFIF issue, and... Wow! I'm mystified by why it's still there, because I'm running the spawn of a recent erase and install, and I have absolutely no recollection of having messed with /etc/hosts since doing it.

I'm going to try to think this one through and figure out the exact sequence of events that got me to where I am now.

Update... For the past two weeks I've been aborting PayPal's redirect to PayPal Shopping, and the apmebf.com cookie has not reappeared.

Further update... I'm not 100% certain, but I believe this began just yesterday or today: When I log out of PayPal, I'm no longer taken to a log-out page and redirected to PayPal Shopping, rather, the page to which I'm immediately taken says "Welcome to PayPal Shops," and I do not get the apmebf cookie.

I just logged out of PayPal and was in the process of being redirected to PayPal Shopping, but the redirect was aborted and I was taken to this screen instead.

I hope PayPal is not doing me that bad, but if OpenDNS thinks it is, I can certainly live without PayPal Shopping.

Even if it's an overreaction, this casts apmebf in a highly unflattering new light.

Quite bizarre... The redirect to PayPal Shopping once again works, and I'm once again seeing apmebf cookies.

It looks like OpenDNS erroneously trapped apmebf.com as a phish, probably because PayPal takes you through that site when you log out.

RE ... I'm once again seeing apmebf cookies.

Can you not set your browser to reject third-party cookies and/or block apmebf.com? I've done both with Firefox 8.

I've already got Safari set to "Block cookies: From third parties and advertisers," but neither Safari nor any of the cookie managing apps I've run across allows the blocking of individual cookies. (Thanks for the heads-up about Firefox's cookie blocking, but I like Safari, and this issue isn't serious enough to change my mind.)

And, once again, neither the redirect nor the apmebf cookie are issues...apparently some sort of holiday tracking thing.
