I have nothing in prinicpal against excite.com I have used this site for years and found it very useful as a search engine as well as for advertising things. But over the past few months I have had problems with my profile.
If you have an excite.com e-mail account go into it and then press the update profile, to check if the profile is actually you.

I became suspicious when I was getting e-mails with passwords for xxx sites, it turned out this was because someone was using my details from my profile as they had gone to check their own and got mine.

I have found that on 13 occasions now my details have been mixed up with someone elses and everytime I contact excite.com I get a reply that has nothing to do with sorting out my profile.
I was given an explanation on how to log in and out. One saying that I was using an isp that had a virus on, the thing was I had never heard of this particular isp. Another telling to make excite.com my home page and then log into excite canada. Didn't understand that when I live in the uk.

I have sent in total now 28 e-mails to excite to try and sort this problem out and as yet to no avail. So if you have an excite.com e-mail it would be advisable to check as the details could belong to someone else.

A week or so ago when they updated things on the site you had to sign a new form on privacy. Well this doesn't seem private when other people can view details on you that are meant to be private

Good info, It s things like this (and the countless problems with Hotmail) that always make me sceptical about using web mail.
