Trade Doubler.

[Jim]

Hi,
Been using Spybot for years and never had a single problem but this last few
weeks it has started finding "Trade Doubler and Mediaplex and Hitbox".
It fixes the problems straight away but they are there again on the next
scan.
No problems are found with Ad-aware of AVG.
Do you know if these are serious faults or where they come from.
Any help appreciated.
Have XP home edition and SP2.
Cheers.
Jim.

Those sound like tracking cookies. Block them with your browser's cookie
manager. They are not malicious, only annoying.

You re-visited the same web sites, and you aren't blocking those
