How is this a "safe" site? The site has hosted at least one trojan in the last 90 days, has a poor Webutation rating, contains suspicious files, links to blacklisted sites, and AFAICT serves advertising scripts. At the very least, advertising services ought to be flagged for privacy concerns by default, unless they go to extraordinary measures to prove they handle your PII in a trustworthy manner. www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=crwdcntrl.net http://quttera.com/detailed_report/crwdcntrl.net

I don't have much of a problem, per se, with tracking sites, since I use Firefox as my primary browser, with lots of privacy protection extensions. What does bother me about this site is the history, since Google's Safe Browsing http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=crwdcntrl.net shows malware being hosted within the last 90 days.

***** uses this to host your user info on their site. they use https and if you try to visit the url you get a 403 Forbidden error. However, I certainly wouldn't be comfortable with any reunion.com-related service having access to any of my personal information, not even my name and picture. seems to be an ad-server or related type of domain. google search was inconclusive, but not very encouraging either.
