Excessive and inappropriate cookies being injected

R

Robert A. Macy

What's happening here? How do I stop this from happening?

MS Explorer on Win 98 system collects cookies like crazy even with MV
Host file installed..

Ok. As a test I cleared out all temp and cookies, to BLANK. Cleared
out Recycle Bin. Rebooted. Went to a SINGLE website to view a a tour
for a home. And VOILA! Thousands [well it seemed like thousands] of
cookies with inappropriate URL addresses insinuated themselves right
back again. These are cookies not even associated with the tour. How
is that possible?

As part of this experiment, I didn't go to any of the old URL's but
somehow their cookies pop right back the minute I got back on line.
Is there someway to stop this in the future?

Please don't tell me to delete the HISTORY files in Explorer. I
really need most of that.

There should be some way to alleviate this collecting of cookies.
Although I have to keep cookies open else can't view such tours.
too.

Robert
