    Apparently Firefox doesn't make it too easy to block third party cookies so I won't bother with that either, I'll just tell him to make sure to have a glass of milk ready to have with all his cookies. At least they aren't responsible for browser hijacking or identity theft.

    Blocking third party cookies in Firefox is very simple. Click Tools, Options,
    Privacy. Make sure there is NO check mark in Accept Third Party Cookies and there IS a check mark in Accept Cookies. This will allow the first party cookies. It also allows session cookies which are the cookies loaded from web sites which have various pages you wish to go through. When you close that website the session cookies are automatically deleted.

    I always figured that teatimer was a third line of defense catching changes that are made by brand new viruses and/or spyware. I guess it's just another false sense of security for me.
    Try SpywareBlaster yourself. You will truly be amazed. I run Spybot scans weekly...it finds NOTHING!
