Tracking Cookies

Hello
Everytime I open windows expolorer it places the following tracking cookies
on my system:
obj[0]=IECache Entry : Cookie:p[email protected]/
obj[1]=IECache Entry : Cookie:p[email protected]/
obj[2]=IECache Entry : Cookie:p[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. I have also tried A Squared , Spybot and the MS Antisyware Beta. All
0of them find the cookies and deletes them but cannot locate the program or
file that loads 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 or visit my
internet banking site.

Any advise you could offer would be appreciated.
Regards
Peter
