Is it a cookie that is coming

from the ads on this website. If you are using IE, you can have Spybot block it silently on the immunization page so it doesn't nag you.

It's only a cookie and is

considered spyware or adware but is not really malicious. Spybot was blocking it for you anyway but now it will block it without nagging you. Happy
