Adware

[dscytherulez]

Ok, I tracked down the site that gives me adware, and I know what it gives me. There is one problem though...I frequently visit the site. Is there a way to block the adware or something so I don't have to remove it every time i visit the site?

Do you have a popupblocker? That might block it. Or Norton AV

What site is it?

[dscytherulez]

I don't think a popup blocker would block that and I do have Norton AV.

And the site doesn't matter

(No its not porn, freaks)

Its probably something equaly interesting then. JK

Disable cookies, that seems to be what they are

[dscytherulez]

Anyway of just disabling those particular ones? Cookies are necessary on my comp with all my logins...

Cmon there has got to be a way to just block those specific cookies...

I believe IE has a way to disallow cookies from only certain websites. I know Mozilla will let you block certain types of cookies, like the tracking cookie you mentioned.
