newbie question re: tracking cookies which return daily

[Saudade]

Hello

I have a series of about 25 tracking cookies (e.g., burstbeacon,
coremetrics, tribalfusion, zedo, mediaplex, overture, fastclick, etc. etc.)
which return on a daily basis regardless of how many times I clean them out
with anti-spyware programs. I clean them out, they're back again within
hours. I don't understand how this happens, but I would like to. Any help
would be appreciated.

They reappear because you go back to the same sites you got them from
in the first place. You need to block them from being installed on
your PC. Far Canal's given you the necessary advice for blocking
them.
