Ghosteryin IE9 missing something?

I use IE9 and FF-4 in Vista. All updated.
Ghostery in FF catches NedStat while Ghostery in IE9 misses it.
Website is: http://www.rijksoverheid.nl/regering
How come???
Is it the settings in IE9?

    Hi Jan,

    Thanks for using Ghostery!

    There is a known update bug in IE which is most likely the cause of the difference between the browsers. We are about to release a brand new version of Ghostery for IE that will bring that extension more in line with the other browsers.. so stay tuned! Also... with Firefox, if you are using Ghostery version 2.8 or higher, in order to get the full benefit of the newest features it requires Firefox 6 or greater.

    Hope that helps!

    Hi Pete, THANKS for your quick reply.

    Yes, I understand about updating and the benefits.
    I have no problem with Ghostery and Firefox!!
    My issue is with Ghostery and IE9
    I use IE9 with Vista, fully updated and latest Ghostery 2.4.2 for IE.
    Ghostery does not detect NedStat although it should as per the blocking list
    In Firefor Ghostery does detect it.
    The website I tested is: http://www.rijksoverheid.nl/regering

    The cookie originates from NedStat which should have been blocked, but was not.
    NedStat analytics is at nl.sitestat.com

    In the meantime the government site (http://www.rijksoverheid.nl/regering) has eliminated the use of all cookies completely, due to citizens' complaints as they do not obey the new Dutch law about cookies (and other bakery products :-))
    Therefore for me this issue is closed for now
    =================================

    FYI, I put quite a lot of my time in understanding tracking etc and remedies and programs to stop it.
    I can honestly say: GHOSTERY IS OUTSTANDING and BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
    Thank you and also everybody on the Ghostery Team
