tracking devices used for marketing purposes to track your page viewing and
purchasing habits. Bugnosis is a free application, with no associated
revenue stream or tracking application of its own, but you must download it
to install. The program will alert you visually and audibly when it locates
bugs. Bugnosis only works with I.E. 5 or higher.
