EVERY time Norton does a scan, I get a flag that there is a "tracking cookie"
that needs to be removed... every time I remove it - it re-appears. Is there
some way that there is software on my system that can be 'tracing' what I am
doing? and how do I find out?
Thanks for the help !

If you are running something as simple as AIM... you will get a
tracking cookie every time it starts.

Tracking cookies aren't the end of the world.

I use CookieWall - http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/cookie.htm

AnalogX CookieWall allows you to quickly and easily decide which cookies can
stay on your system, and which cookies should go - once you let CookieWall
know which ones are unwelcome, it does the rest. CookieWall can be configured
to delete cookies as soon as they arrive, to notify you of any new ones, or
just que them up for you to check out at a later date.
CookieWall is currently only compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer
or derived versions (such as NeoPlanet); Netscape support should be available
in the near future.
