I'm so tired of this crap.

Any idea how to remove the cookie, without deleteing all cookies?
As I said earlier I deleted 8 posts by this dickhead a few days so it might be worth blocking him, but then I soppose he (or she as stated) only needs to post as another new member. But there where posts by him in almost all forums, not just the Xara forums.

Hi Egg, the cookie files from excel are: a@servedby.advertising
a@fastclick.txt

**Egg Bramhill** · 16 March 2003, 08:07 AM

I found 6 of each file on my system and have deleted them.
How did you know that these were the files? From the source file?

Pest Patrol or Ad-Aware can block third party cookies like these which is how I was aware of what was going on when I was alerted by Ad-Aware that it had blocked these cookies.

The world is filled with sick puppies, or as Eric so eloquently put it, dickheads :-)

I use Ad-Aware to scan for and delete them, the file names are recorded in a log file.

yes, I am still alive in case anyone was wondering...

Here is a program I use for my spyware woes, I used to use Ad-aware, but then an IT buddy recommended this one. It eliminates spy-bots and will also clean up temp internet, documents, cookies, invalid paths, etc.

Spybot S&D and best of all it's freeware!
