    Default Fixed Problems Returning

    I am having problems with popups, which do not seem to be fixed when I run Spybot. It will find problems & I'll tell it to fix them, but soon after I get the same popups again.

    Here is a copy of the problems that were found at 6:20pm today. I then ran S&D again immediately after the first scan, and it found a new problem (pasted below). I've noticed that the same problems keep coming up on the results, even though I fix them (although these 2 particular scans did not contain duplicate problems). Can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

    Tracking Cookies are cookies stored on your computer by a 3rd party not directly related to the web site you're currently viewing. The intention of this cookie is to track your movement as you surf between sites.

    If you are running Internet Explorer the storing of these particular Tracking Cookies can be prevented by enabling Spybot's Browser Helper Object (BHO). To do this go into Spybot-S&D > Immunize. Look in the last section labeled "Permanently running bad download blocker for Internet Explorer". Check the following:
    • "Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer"

    In the pull-down below "Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer" there are three options:
    • Block all pages silently
    • Display dialog when blocking
    • Ask for blocking confirmation
    Many people find the messages that this facility can produce annoying. If you would like to keep the messages from popping and still block the tracking cookies, you can do that by selecting "Block all pages silently".

    There is another way to prevent the downloading of Tracking Cookies in Internet Explorer (even those not blocked by Spybot's resident BHO) as well as the storing of Tracking Cookies in other WEB browsers. See:
