Cookie Wall falling down on the job.

Hello!
I use a little freeware app called 'Cookie Wall'. When configured so,
it presents all all incoming cookies for disposition , allowing the
user to decide whether to ACCEPT , TEMPORARILY ACCEPT OR DENY. When
finished online, the user may view the actions taken and make a
permanent disposition.

Well, two particular cookies slide in unnoticed and are never
presented as the others are. Yet in the final disposition, I find them
in the, "Cookies to Keep" box and I must delete them manually every
day, often twice a day. These are: ....AT&T.COM and COMPUTER
PROBLEMS.COM

It might be interesting to note that I had used both these online
companies in the past, but under a former email address. AND, with a
newly formatted and partitioned HDD, and with a new OPSYS and with
all new applications and utilities.

Is there anything I can do to stop them, or force them to be presented
first so I can delete them right away?

PS: I use Adaware, Spybot, AntiVirus from several sources, and a
Firewall. Obviously there's a flaw in COOKIE WALL. But how do I fix
it?

Perhaps go to Cookie Wall's web site and ask them since
its their product and not Microsoft's.
 
What I don't understand is why you would use a third party software when you can use the tools in IE to manage your cookies in the same manner. In IE go>tools\internet options\privacy tab\advanced button and away you go. You should note that with the imminent release of SP2 this feature will be improved to block pop-ups as well. }:~)
