Blue Mountain eCards

I signed up for a trial membership with Blue Mountain cards tonight. After I got all signed up I coundn't log in. After I looked at there troubleshooter I discovered if you use Spy-Bot S&D you must remove their name from the blocked sites in IE. Why is Blue Mountain Blocked by Spy-Bot? I used the site several years ago when it was free without a problem. Have they became distributors of malware?

Blue Mountain has long been a source of spam.
If you look at spybot's "ignore products" list, Blue Mountain is there and "cookies" is the only listed reason. Blue Mountain requires tracking cookies as per their privacy policy. I have never heard of them distributing any malware but have heard of viruses desquised as Blue Mountain e-cards.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll opt out of the trial membership.
