Tracking Cookies

[Guest]

Hello
Everytime I open windows expolorer it places the following tracking cookies
on my system:
obj[0]=IECache Entry : Cookie[email protected]/
obj[1]=IECache Entry : Cookie[email protected]/
obj[2]=IECache Entry : Cookie[email protected]/cgi-bin

I run adaware after every browsing seesion and remove them but i was
wondering if anyone knew a way of stopping IE from loading them in the first
place.

The imrworldwide cookie is loaded everytime I open IE whether I browse or
not. The other two seem to be loaded if i open google or ebay.

Any advise you could offer would be appreciated.

Above and beyond that do you have some sort of program installed that might
automatically write blank cookies with those names in order to have them
already in place so that they'd not be able to track you??? Just an idea, I
don't know of a program that does that but you never know.

Thanks for the reply Galen
I ran A Squared and it found a couple of additional tracking cookies but not
whatever it is that is loading the imrworldwide and other tracking cookies.
Anyone else have any ideas?
