Re cookie settings altering on own – it was a Malware Trojan

[Andrew]

I have found and destroyed the culprit responsible for resetting my cookies
to the lowest possible level. It was a malware Trojan called
Win32.Trojan.Monder – five infections in total. I downloaded and installed
free Ad-Aware 2008 which discovered two Trojans in the registry first, the
other three about 2 minutes later. Cookie settings stable again now, however,
still can’t update my eTrust Antivirus vet engine to the latest issue!
This is the first time Spybot S & D has failed to root out an infection! -
