They are no doubt coming from some site that you visit frequently.

The only way to stop them is to stop visiting the site, stop accepting
cookies without your approval, or run a program (will cost you) that
watches for such items and immediately deletes them.

You go to a site that loads the cookie, you later remove the cookie, but
then go back to a site that loads the cookie. There is no particular
problem. It's the natural way of things. If you really want to avoid the
cookies manage it with the internet browser or use a anti-malware program
that keeps these from being installed.

Cookies are not that big a deal, anyway.

Why the extensive crossposting for this issue? One would have been
sufficient.

Are you saying you run the antispyware application, remove the cookies with
it, don't do anything else with the computer (no email, no web surfing,
nothing) and run the antispyware application again and the cookies are there
again?

Or are you saying you run the antispyware application, remove the cookies
with it, use your computer (email, web surfing, etc) and run the antispyware
application again and the cookies are there again?

The former would be strange and I would like to know the name of the
AntiSpyware Application in question.
The latter would make sense - as you likely visited the same web sites and
thus, obtained the cookies again.

A very effective way to block these and other cookies is to use a Hosts
file. See either

http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

or http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/

There are other ways.

Some free programs (Proxomitron, Privoxy, WebWasher) will prevent these
cookies. So will a Hosts file:

http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

or http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/

And if I'm not mistaken, the Immunize feature of Spybot Search & Destroy
will do this, as will SpywareBlaster (these programs are also free).
