Excessive and inappropriate cookies being injected

[Guest Robert A. Macy]

What's happening here? How do I stop this from happening?

 

MS Explorer on Win 98 system collects cookies like crazy even with MV

Host file installed..

 

Ok. As a test I cleared out all temp and cookies, to BLANK. Cleared

out Recycle Bin. Rebooted. Went to a SINGLE website to view a a tour

for a home. And VOILA! Thousands [well it seemed like thousands] of

cookies with inappropriate URL addresses insinuated themselves right

back again. These are cookies not even associated with the tour. How

is that possible?

 

As part of this experiment, I didn't go to any of the old URL's but

somehow their cookies pop right back the minute I got back on line.

Is there someway to stop this in the future?

 

Please don't tell me to delete the HISTORY files in Explorer. I

really need most of that.

 

There should be some way to alleviate this collecting of cookies.

Although I have to keep cookies open else can't view such tours.

too.

 

Robert
