Scam and Phishbusters → opting-out website for anti ADs, spam, cookies,etc,...

i was sent to this website (see below for link) by verizon dsl, in order to stop the spam, cookies, ads, etc,...

»networkadvertising.org/m ··· _out.asp

does it work? if so, why doesn't everyone know about this?!

i'm sick of google earth having to send info every 30minutes, or so, even when i havent used 'earth' in months! not to mention various other companies ads, spam, etc,...

anyway, feedback appreciated.

at first glance, it looks like just a cookie blocker.. it says right there that it wont stop or block all online ads.. not sure how it would stop spam either.
