With the new ads on the top, they are placing a shit load of cookies on PC's. I've found 6 that are actually tracking where you go once you are off this site!

How to disable the ad banner and stop the cookies in IE 7:

Click Tools
Then internet options
Click on the security tab
Internet Security
Click Custom Level
Look for the box Scripting and under that is Active Scripting, change that to disabled.

Click Apply and OK close and restart explorer and they are gone.

I ran a full sweep with Webroot Spysweeper and my machine came up clean. I did go in and adjust my setting as you said afterwards and found out that the message board shows new replies even after I have read the thread. So I did switch back and now the message board seems to be back to normal.So I think my spysweeper software is keeping my machine clean.

The main tracking cookies look like they were coming from vegas.com.
