SpyWare Blocker

[Willard]

I have 'Spybot-S&D' to remove SpyWare, but I am looking for a good free
"SpyWare Blocker'...
(EarthLink's blocker will not install with my 640 x 480 resolution)....
I presently notice SpyWare being installed when my home page
<http://home.netscape.com/> comes up, then I have about 20 to remove
with 'Spybot-S&D' before I shutdown especially for 'Advertising.com'........

Are you talking about harmless tracking cookies? Why be concerned
about them?

"By combining the free AVG anti-virus scanner, the free version of
Ewido anti-Trojan scanner and the free Microsoft Antispyware scanner, I

particularly nasty set of 104 assorted malware products that I had
downloaded from P2P networks."

I note that it takes 5to10 seconds to load "servedby.advertising.com"..
After an hour or two on the Internet SpyBot shows 47 cookies
"servedby.advertising.com"
I thought I could speedup the web page access by blocking these cookies...

So set your browser to block cookies. BTW, cookies aren't "spyware".

SpyBot listed these particular "tracking cookies" as a "Problem"???

In order to receive "HotMail" I set:
(x) Allow cookies for the originating web site only...
(x) Accept for current session only..

Thanks for the help,
